According to the ChangeLogs, dired-omit-files-p should still be buffer local:

1995-04-20  Kevin Rodgers <kevinr@ihs.com>

        * dired-x.el: Change the instructions in the INSTALLATION
        comment block to set buffer-local variables like
        dired-omit-files-p in dired-mode-hook.
        (dired-omit-files-p): Make local to all buffers.
        (dired-omit-files): Fix doc string (not buffer-local).
        (dired-omit-startup): Don't need to make dired-omit-files-p
        local to buffer here.
