Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

In a file like this:

---------------- file: sample.tex ----------------
%% -*- mode:outline-minor; -*-

% Empty
--------------------------------------------------

Opening it and emacs will put it in fundamental mode with
outline-minor-mode and it is undesirable.

However,

---------------- file: sample.tex ----------------
% Empty

%% Local Variables:
%% mode: outline-minor
%% End:
--------------------------------------------------

Emacs will put it in LaTeX/TeX mode with outline-minor-mode.

I wonder if this is a bug.

Best,
Leo

Version: 24.1

The use of "mode:" to enable minor modes is now deprecated
(precisely because it has problems like this and others).
Use "eval: (minor-mode)" instead. See bug#8613.
