After looking at this, I can't see any reason why "TeX-lisp-directory" shouldn't default to '(locate-data-directory "auctex")'.

I just think that since we have auto-autoloads and custom-loads, we should try to keep the upstream stuff as pristine as possible. Surely you've been party to some of the PSGML flamewars?

Fix it in tex-site.el. I never got around to submitting a patch because I wanted something that would work upstream to.
