I tried that now, but it didn't seem to help.

We really need a general "this thing here shouldn't be interpreted by
any of the things that look for this stuff" mechanism.  But I'm not sure
what that would look like.

(with-uninterpreted-text
  (insert ";; Local Variables:
;; coding: utf-8
;; version-control: never"))

or something?  The code that's looking for these things are pretty
simple, though, and would have to be made more complicated, which is a
downside.

Stefan M's solution (use \s instead of space) is probably the best.
