Sigh.

Anybody have a better idea than (symbol-value 'begin)?

Or a better way to get at the desired information in the first place?
Peeking at the "begin" variable in an enclosing function is really
dirty.

We should rip out the advice anyway (or only use it conditionally with
older, non-bundled AUCTeX) and fix AUCTeX and/or provide proper hooks.

I have not seen this problem here, Ralf.  Does it vanish for you if
you remove the "preactivated" bit?  Maybe then the advice does not get
compiled.
