Ah, that's a recent emacs change.  If you want the background extend to
the end of the line, customize `font-latex-doctex-documentation-face'
and give it an Extend value of On.

Your assumption is correct but it seems you've discovered a bug.  When
you do

  M-: (TeX-load-style "doc") RET
  M-: (TeX-run-style-hooks "doc") RET

all the environments and formatting (no % in the macrocode body) are
there.  So it seems like auto-activation of the doc style in docTeX
documents has stopped working.
