   That is, once you have made a variable local to a buffer, it no
   longer sees the default...  *unless* the variable was flagged to
   become buffer-local automagically but had not yet actually done so.

make-local-variable is a no-op if make-variable-buffer-local has already
been applied to the symbol.  Thus it doesn't have the effect of
initializing the buffer's local value of the symbol, contrary to the
documentation.

Took me a while to figure that out ...
