Thanks.

I assume this is clear. Temp buffer has local value, the let changes the
local (current) value, default-value determines the value as if the
local values weren't there, and so on.

Here, temp has no local value, so the current value is the global one.
Let changes the global (current) value, and default-value picks that up.

In both cases, I don't know if that's mentioned explicitly in some doc
string. It's the normal behavior of let with special variables (dynamic
variables). The current value that is set changes depending on
circumstances.
