Never use `make-variable-buffer-local' on a variable which belongs to some
other package. You want to use `make-local-variable' instead.
Note that in the above case you don't need either of them because
after-change-functions is already automatically made buffer-local. And even
if you wanted to make it buffer-local manually, you shouldn't use
make-local-variable but make-local-hook since after-change-functions is
a hook.

Never use `setq' on a hook. Use `add-hook' or `remove-hook'.
I didn't know it was a hook (though I did think to myself that it was
very hook-like). The variable name is not descriptive. Maybe it
should be aliased to or renamed `after-change-hook'.
As for your question, don't use `append-to-file', use `write-region'
instead, and pass `quiet' as the VISIT argument to prevent the message.
Shouldn't advice to `write-region' be sufficient? `append-to-file'
just calls this function. True, using `write-region' is more
transparent (and I had an error in my advice to this function), but I
don't see why advising `write-region' and then calling
`append-to-file' wouldn't work.
