I'm not sure what's the reason to put such a file-local variable.
More to the point, I'm not sure it's a good idea in the first place.
The reason M-x compile generates this local variable is to make sure
the error messages are interpreted with respect to the proper
directory.
We want this variable to be put into effect if the text is saved and
visited again.
