The comment doesn't explain why Dave thought that "It all goes badly
wrong if `hack-one-local-variable' is advised", so there's not much we
can do.  AFAIK it will only go wrong with some advice, so he must have
had some particular pieces of advice in mind.

`advice.el` is deprecated anyway, so my recommendation is to remove this
test and just call `multi-hack-local-variables` without paying attention
to any potential advice there.  If/when you bump into a problem with
that, then we'll be able to see what should be done (the best option
might be to change the advice itself).

> But there is no advice on what to do instead.

I think that's because `ad-with-originals` was used on it ;-)
