A very small corner I should imagine. ;)
I'll make it set buffer-read-only (back) to nil after hacking locals.

Though maybe there are other directory locals that could cause
non-standard behaviour. It's a shame there appears to be no setting for
enable-local-variables that means "respect (safe) file-locals, but
ignore directory locals".

Some of the languages set sentence-end-double-space to nil.
That appears to be it. Personally, I think this takes "translation" a
bit too far, but without the local setting the sentence motion commands
don't work correctly. (Though I don't recall ever seeing this reported
as a bug, and prior to 24 local variables were not respected in the
tutorial.)

I also think any Local Variables section should be removed from the
displayed tutorial buffer.
