Ah, sorry.  You don't need to do the above anymore because AUCTeX does
it already for you.  It seems you have tried to execute the above code
before AUCTeX and tex-mode.el have been loaded.

So basically, with AUCTeX from git or 11.88.8 from ELPA,
`prettify-symbols-mode' should just work without anything for users to
do except for enabling the mode manually or in LaTeX-mode-hook.
