no-byte-compile no longer considered safe?

[Bill Wohler]

An MH-E user has reported that a few of the MH-E files which MUST NOT be
compiled were compiled after a recent CVS Emacs update. I've noticed
this behavior too after I updated. Unfortunately, the compilation of
these files causes mysterious bugs in MH-E (which is why we set
no-byte-compile to t in the local variables stanza).

When I fired up Emacs recently, I noticed that I was prompted for
several of my local variables. I imagine that the safe variable code
that has been discussed here was implemented.

Related?

Should no-byte-compile be marked as a safe variable, or is there
something the MH-E package should be doing differently now?
