Thanks, now I understand what's happening.  beamer.el contain these
lines:

    '("includegraphics" [TeX-arg-beamer-overlay-spec]
      [TeX-arg-key-val (LaTeX-graphicx-key-val-options) nil nil ?\s]
      LaTeX-arg-includegraphics)

So it overrules the definition in graphicx.el by adding one more
optional argument which you see as '(Optional) Overlay:'.  Now you hit
return and this means that the optional argument is rejected.  With the
setup below:

> Its value is `'show-optional-args''.

You are not asked for the next optional argument which can contain
'width', and that's what you're looking for.  So you can set
`TeX-insert-macro-default-style' to `show-all-optional-args' and try it
again.
