Which version of RefTeX and Emacs are you using?

I checked with the attached file and a relatively recent CVS Emacs
which I called like this

emacs -Q -eval '(progn (load "auctex.el" nil t t) (add-hook (quote 
LaTeX-mode-hook) (quote turn-on-reftex)) (setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t))' 
file.tex

and it worked, i.e. both entries were selectable when trying to create
a reference with `C-c )'.  When opening the file make sure that the
form in the local variables stanza is being evaluated.  Otherwise the
`satz' environment won't be added to `reftex-label-alist'.
