I can't really see any local variables in the " *nntpd*" buffer.  There
are plenty of them in the " *server ...*" buffer, though.

So I can't really see how this would make any difference:

-    (nnoo-change-server 'nntp server defs)
-    (if connectionless
-       t
-      (or (nntp-find-connection nntp-server-buffer)
-         (nntp-open-connection nntp-server-buffer)))))
+    (with-current-buffer nntp-server-buffer
+      (nnoo-change-server 'nntp server defs)
+      (if connectionless
+         t
+       (or (nntp-find-connection nntp-server-buffer)
+           (nntp-open-connection nntp-server-buffer))))))

nntp-server-buffer => #<buffer  *nntpd*>

Are you still seeing this problem?
