Unfortunately the font locking variables are being set up by font-latex
after `kill-all-local-variables' was run during the mode initialization
and before the local variables stanza is being evaluated again.  You
could force font locking setup to be re-run when the local variables are
set up by adding
%%% eval: (funcall 'font-latex-setup)
to your file, but this is really a brute force method which makes
assumptions about AUCTeX's font locking internals and which might not be
free of side effects.

I'd rather put the environments permanently into
`LaTeX-verbatim-environments'.  It likely won't happen too often that
you encounter environments with these names in other files.
