You don't even need the math environment.  Something like

\begi
[foo]

and typing the "n" of \begin suffices.

AFAICS this is an infinite loop triggered by point not advancing
inside of the function `font-latex-match-command-with-arguments'.  I
already have a way to prevent the infloop from appearing but have to
check if it is the right way to fix it.

Why don't you just type `C-g'?
