Because there is the possible value
  (const :tag "User name in Emacs" user-full-name)
If one sets `LaTeX-default-author' using customize interface (few
people use customize, but... who knows?) and chooses the previous
option, its value will be 'user-full-name (quoted).  But the simplest
solution is to remove that value, one can easily restore default value
erasing customization.

Thank you, bye
