Without having tested this, it could be that processing of the
file-local variables stops after the "mode:" line because there is
no "pdflatex" mode.  If this is the case, using
%%% mode: latex
should cure the problem.  If you want to enable TeX PDF mode, set the
mode variable to t; either globally by customizing it or locally by
putting an appropriate line in the local variables stanza.
