Something like
(defun TeX-local-list-setter (var value)
(let ((old (symbol-value var)) tail)
(dolist (buffer (buffer-list))
(when (local-variable-p var buffer)
(with-current-buffer buffer
(setq tail (symbol-value var))
(while (consp tail)
(if (eq (cdr tail) old)
(progn
(setcdr tail value)
(setq tail nil))
(setq tail (cdr tail))))))))
(custom-set-default var value))
