Why not just edit the defvar in tex.el and recompile to .elc? Maybe your 
setq is being overwritten each time you run auctex. By your "config" do 
you mean .emacs? List length of your variable is 30 and the default is 
18. Here AUCTeX-version is a variable defined in `tex-site.el'.
Its value is "2007-01-23". Emacs version in 24.3
