Sorry for not being clear. What I wanted to hint at is the part of the
doc string that reads "that do not have their own values...", which
means that what default-value returns depends whether or not SYMBOL got
its own value in the buffer, and that depends on the presence of lets,
and so on.

It's (too) complicated, but it is what it is :-/.
