Perhaps I misundertood, but I thought Colin meant: for some TeX errors, AUCTeX
opens the log file that TeX creates, and it is reverted on each subsequent TeX
run, resulting in a message in the echo area which is indeed annoying.

That is, there are two buffers involved: the *TeX Help* buffer with the error
message, which is a read-only buffer and is updated without any echoed message;
and the <myfilename>.log buffer, which is a file read from disk, and changing it
results in an echoed message.  (Assuming you have auto-revert mode enabled.)

If this is indeed what happens, one option is to set `auto-revert-verbose' to
nil, another is to add fundamental-mode (in which the log file is opened) to
`global-auto-revert-ignore-modes'.  Again, unless I misunderstood what the
problem is in the first place.
