Hm, that's on Windows ...  An Emacs compiled with GTK support opens a
file dialog if the function is invoked via the menu.  Could it be that
you get a file dialog but out of some reason cannot see it?  For
example because it is below some other window or off the screen.

You should be able to work around the problem by using the key binding
for setting the master file (`C-c _') which won't open a file dialog.

But please try to find out what is the problem when invoking the
function via the menu.  This would give us a chance to fix it in
AUCTeX if it is an AUCTeX problem or file an Emacs bug report if it is
an Emacs problem.
