It's not based on priorities.

The `let' binding affects the currently "active" slot, so in this case
it affects the buffer-local slot.  So after kill-local-variable, this
binding is lost.

Note that mixing let-binding and buffer-local bindings is generally
discouraged.  The only known reasonably sane semantics for such a mix is
when the variable is always buffer-local.  If you mix `let' with
make-local-variable and kill-local-variable you're really asking
for trouble.
