I confirm that 11.88-1 already contains this patch.

About fixing it for Jessie, I don't think that we can get an unblock on
this issue given Jessie Freeze Policy guidelines
<https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html#guidelines-changes>:

  - this bug severity level looks like normal to me, rather than
    important;
  - even if its severity level was important, the fix could not be done
    via unstable, because unstable already has 11.88-1;
  - fixes done via testing-proposed-updates need to be targeted for
    release critical bugs.

If you think that the freeze policy allows an upload fixing this issue,
please let me know: I've already prepared it, and the debdiff is
attached.  Otherwise, at any rate I will backport 11.88-1 to Jessie when
its backports will be available, and I hope AUCTeX users will use it,
since 11.88 has so many improvements over 11.87.  The time-line of 11.88
release unfortunately did not fit the time-line of Jessie freeze.
