Here it seems that you've just had thesis.tex open in a buffer but not
the chapter files.  I've asked you to "find the master file and *all
chapter files* and eval the following in *stratch*".

Because the symbols latex-mode and LaTeX-mode or TeX-mode are not `eq'
(identical).  `major-mode' is just a symbol, and in an AUCTeX LaTeX
buffer it'll be set to `latex-mode'.
