1. emacs -Q 
2. Visit the attached patch file. (I have removed some hunks)

   Side Issue: shouldn't *.patch file open in diff mode.  Currently it
   opens in fundamental mode.

See the following error reported

| prefix")
| File local-variables error: (error "Local variables entry is missing the
| prefix")

Inhibit to prevent a false detection, exactly as in this case.

Err, you can specify file local variables without a prefix. Eg etc/NEWS.
