Most likely, it's the new fontification that struck you.
The original docstring is:

   Non-nil if VARIABLE will be local in buffer BUFFER if it is set there.
   BUFFER defaults to the current buffer.

but recently the code tries to mangle it to use italics instead of allcaps
for identifiers.  Most likely in your case the italics is lost somewhere.

Note also how even if the italics was kept the mangling has created an
ugliness in the second sentence: it starts with a lowercase.
