I don't see such a problem here.  TeX is being run as

and the viewer is started as

xpdf -remote my\ test -raise my\ test.pdf 

which works fine.  I have the setting (which is presumably different on
your system)

TeX-output-view-style is a variable defined in `tex.el'.

Value: 
(("^dvi$"
  ("^landscape$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$")
  "%(o?)dvips -t landscape %d -o && gv %f")
 ("^dvi$" "^pstricks$\\|^pst-\\|^psfrag$" "%(o?)dvips %d -o && gv %f")
