Node `Intro to Buffer-Local' contains this text with an example
following. I _think_ it's obsolete in Emacs 21 following changes to
the binding mechanism. At least the example now behaves differently.
*Warning:* When a variable has buffer-local values in one or more
buffers, you can get Emacs very confused by binding the variable with
`let', changing to a different current buffer in which a different
binding is in effect, and then exiting the `let'. This can scramble
the values of the buffer-local and default bindings.

This has been reworded in CVS emacs, and the examples fixed too.
