I have tested this now: if I open the "slave" file and do not apply
the local variables, AUCTeX nevertheless opens the master file in the
background (good sign!), but compilation fails.

I found it interesting to see that AUCTeX finds the master file and
opens it, but then it doesn't know the master file when I press C-c
C-c. Hm.
