Well, I thought I was supposed to create the variable outside the scope
of the function... but I see that's not necessary. And not setting it on
BufEnter actually solves my problem, great!
Just for clarification though, I'm not using filetype because sometimes
I change the syntax highlighting, so I'd need it to go back to the one
I'd changed to instead of the filetype.
Thank you very much!

Thank you all for the answers!
Yes, I'm actually using it to highlight whitespace... I know it's a
programming language on its own, but it works perfectly well for my needs so
I don't see a reason to install extra plugins for it.
I hadn't realized that b:current_syntax had a special meaning... that
clearly explains the problem with the tmp var and makes me feel like an
idiot =)
But even after changing that (now I've named it b:current_buffer_syntax and
I can see that this one's not used) problem 2) keeps happening. Maybe this
buffer variables don't work the way I though they did...? I'd like to store
the syntax of each buffer I have open, how can this be done?
Why are you setting this variable on BufEnter? I would do this just
before setting the option to whitespace and *only* before setting the
option to whitespace. Not sure this will fix the issue.
And also note that &syntax is usually the same thing as &filetype. So
toggler may look like
if &l:syntax is# &l:filetype
setlocal syntax=whitespace
else
let &l:syntax = &l:filetype
endif

Whitespace is an esoteric programming language:

<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_%28programming_language%29>.
If it
is used highlighting of anything, *but* spaces is disturbing.
Okay, scratch that reply!!
