There is an elaborate segment of code in reset_buffer_local_variables
for, among other actions, eliminating outdated value cells from
buffer-local symbols that is not run when the shortcut is taken of
clearing local_var_alist_ in the case where PERMANENT_TOO is set, which
I suspect results in variable watchers being ignored and outdated symbol
values persisting. Is there a specific reason for this discrepancy, or
is it just an oversight?

Yes, it was an oversight in my commit 3ddff0803415.
This code also has another related problem because the var watchers can
change `local_var_alist`. And I can't see in the code what prevents us
from running the watcher twice for those vars with `Qpermanent_local_hook`.
Oh, and calling `swap_in_global_binding` doesn't sound quite right
if we don't kill the var (because of `Qpermanent_local_hook`).
