The point is that, until a month or so ago when the bug was 
corrected, such line break as you describe *never* happened 
*by default* for '$...$' inline formulae. In fact, when the 
bug was corrected and line break started to behave as you 
describe, a user wrote to the auctex mailing list, asking on 
why the new "odd" line-breaking behaviour.

So, to put LaTeX-fill-break-at-separators to nil or to 
(better in my opinion) (\\\[ \\\]) by default, is actually 
to revert to the filling behaviour that auctex had for 
several years...

...Or am I missing something?

Cheers,
