Further adventures:

It looks like file endings are handled badly somewhere. I dumped some 
info in hack-local-variables:

 (message "-- %s: (%s)" file (buffer-substring-no-properties
          startpos endpos))
  ...
   (if (looking-back suffix)
        delete-region (match-beginning 0) (point))
      ;;(error "Local variables entry is missing the suffix"))
      (error
       "Local variables entry in %s is missing the suffix (suffix 
chars: %s), line:\n%s"
       file (append suffix nil)
       (buffer-substring-no-properties
        (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position))
                     ))

The error message above showed that there was a CR (13) at the end of 
the line when processing finder-inf.el. When I changed the line endings 
from DOS to Unix this file got processed ok, but later on I got
