I cannot reproduce this here.

`C-c [' calls `reftex-citation' which is a RefTeX function.  Regarding
the example file you provided I cannot see a connection of AUCTeX or
one of its style files interacting here.  So I'd guess this is related
to RefTeX.

Did you customize `reftex-cite-format'?

What happens if you start Emacs with `emacs -q -no-site-file', put the
lines

(require 'tex-site)
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'turn-on-reftex)
(setq reftex-plug-into-AUCTeX t)

into the *scratch* buffer, type `M-x eval-buffer RET', load your LaTeX
file and try `C-c ['?
