Sorry for my misunderstanding. Really, it can pinpoint the problem:
(delq nil (mapcar (lambda (buf)
(with-current-buffer buf
(when (eq major-mode 'latex-mode)
(cons (buffer-file-name buf)
(TeX-master-file "pdf")))))
(buffer-list)))
(("/home/werner/Public/hpc/tools/thesis/gitlab.kwant-project.org/jbweston/thesis.git/content/josephson.tex"
. "josephson.pdf")
("/home/werner/Public/hpc/tools/thesis/gitlab.kwant-project.org/jbweston/thesis.git/content/appendix.tex"
. "../thesis.pdf")
("/home/werner/Public/hpc/tools/thesis/gitlab.kwant-project.org/jbweston/thesis.git/thesis.tex"
. "thesis.pdf"))
As you can see, only the chapter/master files which have been set the
correct TeX-master variable will report the correct master PDF file.

But see the following statement on
<https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/reftex/Installation.html>:
```
1.1.3 Entering RefTeX Mode
To turn RefTeX Mode on and off in a particular buffer, use M-x
reftex-mode RET. To turn on RefTeX Mode for all LaTeX files, add the
following lines to your .emacs file:
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with AUCTeX LaTeX mode
(add-hook 'latex-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex) ; with Emacs latex mode
```
It says that the AUCTeX LaTeX mode should be called `LaTeX-mode',
while the Emacs latex mode is called `latex-mode'
Any hints on this description?
