[BUG] org-link-descriptive not honored as file-local-variable [9.5 (9.5-g0a86ad @ /home/gustavo/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.5/)]

[Gustavo Barros <gusbrs.2016@gmail.com>]

Hi All,

Currently, trying to set `org-link-descriptive' as file-local-variable 
is not honored by Org, and doing so, leads to one of mismatched states 
between `org-link-descriptive' and the invisibility specs.

An ECM for it.  Start ~emacs -Q~ and setup current Org:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-9.5")
#+end_src

Visit =document.org= containing:

#+begin_src org
[[https://orgmode.org/][Org mode for Emacs]]

# Local Variables:
# org-link-descriptive: nil
# End:
#+end_src

The default value of `org-link-descriptive' is t, and after visiting 
this file, the local variable is indeed set (inspect it, and it tells 
you it is nil).  However, the links are still "descriptive", and 
`buffer-invisibility-spec' does contain `(org-link)'.  Indeed, if at 
that point, you try `org-toggle-link-display', it will fail the first 
time, but work the second one.
