Indeed, it's more broken that I thought.

Why only one level? Doesn't AUCTeX have code to balance braces somewhere?
I noticed the issue when defining links for my biblio like this
\newbibmacro{string+doi}[1]{%
\iffieldundef{doi}{#1}{\href{http://dx.doi.org/\thefield{doi}}{#1}}}
Using `rainbow-delimiters-mode` meant that all subsequent braces are marked as
mismatched. This is really a bigger issue with that package, but nonetheless it
is caused by AUCTeX.
I also use show-paren-mode to visually (and through a key binding) to jump
between the closing/end braces, which doesn't work for href (even without
nested braces).
