bug#40975: 28.0.50; Variable gets buffer-local unexpectedly

[Michael Heerdegen <michael_heerdegen@web.de>]

Hello,

here is a reproducer:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun test ()
  (make-local-variable 'my-test-var)
  (with-current-buffer (get-buffer-create "Testbuffer")
    (setq my-test-var 27)))
#+end_src

If you eval M-: (test) e.g. in emacs -Q and inspect the binding of
`my-test-var' in "Testbuffer" and the other buffers, you'll see that the
variable has become buffer local in "Testbuffer" though it has never
been made local there.  This is the bug.

Maybe there is a problem in this case because the `setq' setting is in
the same lexical scope as the `make-local-variable' call?

TIA,

Michael.
