Have you tried quoting?  I still get the same thing, when I try the
following document:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\begin{verbatim}
Kiss this!
\sin(x)

\end{verbatim}
\begin{equation}
  \label{eq:1}
  \sin(x)
\end{equation}

\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% LaTeX-verbatim-environments: '("verbatim" "verbatim*" "CodeListing" 
"OldCodeListing" "NewCodeListing")
%%% End:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

@someone-who-knows: Does this just come up when a new variable is
introduced in a local variables list?

@OP: If so, what's wrong with marking the variables as safe and applying
them in the future (!)?
