Why not do this in kill-all-local-variables then?
Although solving this problem is tricky in general. Consider two
buffers A and B. A buffer-local variable in A may reference an overlay
in buffer B. When A is reverted how remove the overlay in B?

Deactivating the mark would have to be done by insert-file-contents if
it finds out that the mark has been invalidated during reversion. I'd
leave this alone until someone complains. In a similar way, I don't
think it necessary to remove the CUA rectangle when a buffer is
reverted.
