I think Org already puts some care into preserving file-local variables
at the end of the buffer, e.g., when moving around headlines. Maybe the
issues you're encountering can be fixed the same way.

Adding page delimiter in `org-outline-regexp' is clearly not subtle
enough in any case, as it would affect every headline, not only the last
one in the buffer.
