Really strange.  What's the value of max-lisp-eval-depth in your emacs?
Here it is 1600 which is the standard value.  AFAICS, it doesn't have
different values on different OSes.

At least there seems to be some systematics here: context-en.el:33 is a
(require 'context) [which in turn requires tex] and bib-cite:590 is
(require 'tex).  But I don't see how that can lead to exceeding
max-lisp-eval-depth...

Good.  (Or rather bad; I've hoped for some easy solvable cause.)

I don't have any knowledge about HomeBrew but I guess you've installed
emacs anew on the new machine rather than copying over the installation
from the old one, right?

What about evaluating (require 'ansi-color) as suggested in my previous
mail?  Does that also lead to an error?  Also with emacs -Q?

And does the auctex load error happen with all tex files (i.e., even
with an empty tex file in a fresh directory)?

Does something change when you start emacs -Q and then do M-x
package-initialize RET before opening some TeX file?

Bye,
Tassilo
