This is a known bug:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.auctex.devel/3692

This thread also suggests a fix:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(with-eval-after-load 'reftex-parse
  (defun reftex-using-biblatex-p ()
    "Return non-nil if we are using biblatex rather than bibtex."
    (if (boundp 'TeX-active-styles)
	;; the sophisticated AUCTeX way
	(member "biblatex" TeX-active-styles)
      ;; poor-man's check...
      (save-excursion
	(re-search-forward "^[^%\n]*?\\\\usepackage.*{biblatex}" nil t)))))
#+end_src

Best,

Alan
