This changed in `normal-mode' in 26.1 for bug #23460, so I'd expect
testing to have been different in 25.1.

The relevant NEWS entry is:

** File local and directory local variables are now initialized each
time the major mode is set, not just when the file is first visited.
These local variables will thus not vanish on setting a major mode.
