Neither for me.  I also use TeXLive 2012.

Yes, that's likely the culprit.  I've set

  % Control file:line:error style messages.
  file_line_error_style = t

in /etc/texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf, and then the AUCTeX error parsing works
as expected.

If you have a different problem, could you please post the complete log
being parsed?
