The tex-terminate-paragraph command has "\n\n" hard-coded into it as
the paragraph divider and ignores paragraph-start and
paragraph-separate. As a result, it reports false errors.
To reproduce the reporting of false errors by tex-terminate-paragraph,
first create a .tex file containing this text:
---------------------------
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
This is the main paragraph.
\begin{quote}
This is the first paragraph of a multi-paragraph quote.
\end{quote}
\end{document}
---------------------------
Then, move point to the end of the line that says “This is the first
paragraph of a multi-paragraph quote.”. Then, type C-j to invoke
tex-terminate-paragraph.
The correct behavior would be to silently insert two newline
characters. The actually buggy behavior is that
tex-terminate-paragraph also emits the false message that “Paragraph
being closed appears to contain a mismatch”.
The cause of the problem is that tex-terminate-paragraph is including
the “\begin{quote}” in the text it checks for validity but not the
corresponding “\end{quote}”, causing an error when it uses
forward-sexp to check for balance. It is an error to include the
“\begin{quote}” because it is not part of the current paragraph. It
makes a mistake about what is in the paragraph because it uses the
hard-coded "\n\n" as the paragraph divider.
The fix is to make tex-terminate-paragraph use a better approach to
finding the start of the current paragraph. At the very least, it
should honor paragraph-start and paragraph-separate.
I hope this bug report is helpful.
