This is funny: you praise how RefTeX is great, you don't like RefTeX's
behavior and blame AUCTeX for it ;-)

You're comparing apples with oranges: `reftex-label' defines a new
label, `TeX-arg-ref' prompts for an already existing label.  What do
you want to accomplish?  Determine what action you want to take
(define a new label?  reference an existing one?), use the appropriate
AUCTeX function, and you're done.  If you use RefTeX, it'll be
actually used.
