Yes, definitely!

Normally, when you initialise a CC Mode buffer, the initialisation
process gets to call `c-basic-common-init', which contains the form
(make-local-variable 'paragraph-start).

So, at a guess, you're calling `c-set-style' in an unusual way, a way
that by-passes the normal initialisation sequence.  Would you please show
us exactly how and where you're calling `c-set-style', so that we can fix
the bug (or fix the documentation ;-).  

Thanks in advance!
