Thanks for the report.  I can see the bug as well.  It looks like it
was introduced with the following change:

2005-04-22  David Kastrup  <address@hidden>

        * tex-buf.el (TeX-help-error): Create the correct log file
        name corresponding to the current run.
        (TeX-error, TeX-warning): Pass runbuffer info into the routines to
        get the correct log file name in all circumstances.

In `TeX-error' and `TeX-warning' `TeX-master' is set now which results
in `TeX-master-file' returning a different value (the one with the
false extension) once these functions were used.  I am not sure why
`TeX-master' is set now.  Probably in order to prevent questions about
the master file to appear.  Does anybody know more?
