I'm not sure whether buffer-local settings make sense at all.  You have
to walk windows anyway to find out which window is affected.  IMHO a
buffer-local hook makes sense here iff the affected window is passed as
argument.

You mean they "should" be responsible?

When I show the same buffer twice in the frame and run the hook twice
for the buffer how do I convey the feedback for _which_ window the hook
is run?  BTW, shall I run it for the buffers of deleted windows too?

That's what I meant.

Please elaborate.
