If this would be considered a bug, then the global variant of set-variable would be easy to fix, by having set-variable call the :set function. C-u set-variable (buffer-local variant) could not be handled this way, because :set functions are usually not intended to handle buffer-local values. Of course, customize-option can not handle buffer-local values at all. One would need a new :set-buffer-local keyword, or similar, if one wanted set-variable to be able to handle buffer-local values for such variables. Sincerely, Luc.
