I think you can write a beamer.el for yourself in ~/.emacs.d/auctex/style (I 
didn't find any variable explicitly set to point to this directory in my init 
files, so I'm assuming this is the default). My experience suggests that your 
personal beamer.el works "as intended", i.e., it adds to the auctex default, 
and overrides the default in case of conflicts.

I have, for example:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(TeX-add-style-hook
 "beamer"
 (lambda ()
   (LaTeX-add-environments
    '("frame"  (lambda (env &rest ignore)
                 (let ((title (read-string "(Optional) Title: ")))
                   (beginning-of-line)
                   (insert 
"%---------------------------------------------------------------------------%\n\n\\begin{frame}{"title"}\n\n\\end{frame}\n\n")
                   (forward-line -3)))
      ignore))

...
