I don't know, when I open that document my `LaTeX-pagestyle-list' variable has 
value
---------------------------------------
(("headings" "myheadings")
 ("fancy" "fancyplain" "plain" "empty")
 ("bar" "foo")
 ("plain" "empty")
 nil)
---------------------------------------
("headings" "myheadings") come from `article' class, ("fancy" "fancyplain" 
"plain" "empty") from `fancyhdr' package.

AFAIK, AUCTeX parses recursively only files included in a document with 
`\include' and `\input' macros.  For classes and packages files loaded with 
`\documentclass' and `\usepackage' (or `\RequirePackage' and so on) you usually 
have to issue `M-x TeX-auto-generate <RET>' and indicate path to those classes 
or packages.  This is what I've done to test `article', `book', and `report' 
classes and `fancyhdr' style.

https://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/manual/auctex/ still gives AUCTeX 11.86 
manual :-)
