[Bug-AUCTeX] 11.84; TeX-command-default not accepted

[Peter Dyballa]

Hello!

Having these local variables set:

        %%% Local Variables:
        %%% mode: latex
        %%% TeX-master: t
        %%% coding: utf-8-unix
	%%% TeX-command-default: "/Users/pete/Library/TeXShop/Engines/ 
XeLaTeXx.engine"
        %%% End:

AUCTeX tells me when trying to compile the XeLaTeX source:

        Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
	  string-match(" \"\\\\\\|\"\\|%\\(?:(\\(?:\\(?:OutFullPath\\|PDF\\ 
(?:out\\)?\\|execopts\\|latex\\|mode\\|o\\(?:\\?\\|utpage\\)\\|tex\\)) 
\\)\\|[cd]S\\|[%'SV`bdfl-tv]\\)" nil nil)
          TeX-command-expand(nil TeX-master-file)
	  TeX-command("/Users/pete/Library/TeXShop/Engines/XeLaTeXx.engine"  
TeX-master-file nil)
          TeX-command-master(nil)
          call-interactively(TeX-command-master)

Is it not allowed to check whether some shell script might work with  
AUCTeX?
