No, it has nothing to do with my latest change to fancyvrb.el.  I can
reproduce what you describe but I don't understand why.  As you said,
AUCTeX currently gets confused by the pair of brackets inside the
mandatory argument

Can you please file a bug report for this, incl. a MWE starting with
emacs -Q?  TIA.

For the time being, you can use delimiters instead of braces for the
optional argument which works, e.g.:

\lstinline[language=C,basicstyle=\ttfamily]|for (i=0; i<8; i++) printf("%c\n"), 
str1 [ i]);|
