Apparently, I was testing a version that was older than [1] since it
was reproduced reliably. With it, the variable indeed seems properly
buffer-local. I think I misread commit metadata in git blame thinking
that the commit was from the last year, so I presumed that my Emacs
version already had it. I couldn't find any docs about obarray
initialization procedure (DEFSYM code-generation and alike), that was
the only place where Fmake_variable_buffer_local was invoked on
intern("foo") instead of a DEFSYM-initialized variable and I didn't
have much time to deduce from sources how these two approaches differ,
so I simply changed it to look like the others and ensured that it
worked after the change. Feel free to ignore that patch if it is
unnecessary.
