I'm not sure if this helps, but from your description and how many
packages try to add things to a variable, I suggest you use something
like this in your init file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(with-eval-after-load "latex"
  (let ((ext '("\\.dvi" "\\.ent" "\\.fmt"
               "\\.rel" "\\.rip" "\\.tags"
               "\\.vrb")))
    (dolist (elt ext)
      (add-to-list 'LaTeX-clean-intermediate-suffixes elt t))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It makes sure that your extensions are added to
`LaTeX-clean-intermediate-suffixes' once latex.el is loaded, no matter
how it is loaded.  Using only

(setq LaTeX-clean-intermediate-suffixes
      (append LaTeX-clean-intermediate-suffixes
        '("\\.dvi" "\\.ent" "\\.fmt" "\\.rel" "\\.rip" "\\.tags" "\\.vrb")))

might end up in an error if it comes too early where
`LaTeX-clean-intermediate-suffixes' isn't defined yet.

HTH.  Best, Arash
