Directory-local variables are supposed to apply to all file buffers, so
if your `compilation-mode` buffer is a file buffer, the dir-local
settings *should* definitely apply.

For non-file buffers, whether dir-local vars are applied or not is
...hmm... well it depends and we've had discussions about when it should
and when it shouldn't.  So you might want to `M-x report-emacs-bug`
explaining your circumstances so as to help us figure out when it should
and when it shouldn't.
