I think using M-x normal-mode is sufficiently uncommon that we shouldn't try
too hard to streamline it. So I vote to have it query. Especially since
there's no guarantee that the user actually checked the local variables
before calling M-x normal-mode, so blindly obeying the local variables could
be dangerous in some scenarios.
After all, if the query is annoying, the answer is not to make M-x
normal-mode less interactive but to add the relevant var/val pairs to
safe-local-variable-values.
