It's not exactly a bug, but feature request to Emacs is exactly what I
was implying.

I am not sure which workaround you are referring to.
Setting org-startup-folded globally? On per-file basis? the former is
global and will apply to broader scope than a directory-local variable.
The latter only works in a single file (and works instead of file-local
variable).
