I've written a patch proposal. It deals with buffer-modified-p and undo
history, but not the other two points you mention. I have tested it and
it works, but I had never dealt before with `buffer-undo-list' so maybe
there are some cases that I have not considered and for which this patch
could be problematic. Let me know what you think:

Subject: [PATCH] Do not mark buffer as modified with
 org-preserve-local-variables

* lisp/org-macs.el (org-preserve-local-variables): Do not mark buffer
as modified or alter `buffer-undo-list' when body does not actually
modify the buffer.

This commit fixes a bug with `org-copy-subtree', which marked the
buffer as modified and added an entry to the undo list when the visited
file had local variables.
