The man page says

"If name is -, the set of  shell  options
 is  made  local to the function in which local is invoked: shell
 options changed using the set builtin inside  the  function  are
 restored  to  their  original  values when the function returns."

That makes it pretty clear the saved options are restricted to those
changeable via `set'.
