Thanks for your bug report. As far as I can see, this is not a bug, when
enable-local-variables is t (the default), Emacs searches for the the
string "Local Variables" string near the end of the buffer, and interprets
what follows as file-local variable settings.
This is not what you want if "Local Variables" is inside a literal string,
but detecting that specific case would be cumbersome I think. I would
suggest that you replace (insert "# Local Variables:\n") by (insert "#
Local " "Variables:\n"), with two additional quotation marks between Local
and Variables.
