I have also experienced this.

I believe that the problem you are seeing is caused by an interference 
between the "reftex" library and the Aquamacs code that is supposed to 
set up synctex.  That Aquamacs code must clobber a key binding for shift 
click that reftex establishes.

To see what is going on, see 
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/aquamacs/edit-modes/auctex-config.el

I'm not sure what is going wrong here: I suspect that this file is not 
being loaded at all, and I'm afraid I don't know what mechanism is 
supposed to cause it to load.

It's possible that this file is being loaded, but _before_ reftex is 
loaded.

To be honest, though, I don't understand how Aquamacs is setting up the 
TeX modes.

I'd be happy to cooperate to try to find a solution, though.
