Aha!  The initial revision of files.el had:

+(defun hack-local-variables (&optional force)
[...]
+           ;; Look at next local variable spec.
+           (if selective-display (re-search-forward "[\n\C-m]")
+             (forward-line 1))

So the ^M stuff that remains in here may have nothing to do with CRLF
DOS stuff, but is something that's left over from code meant to deal
with selective display?
