Oh, right `byte-hunk-handler` is to handle top-level uses only
(e.g. top-level uses of `require` trigger loading the file at
compilation time, whereas they don't when not at top-level).

I think you want to use `(byte-defop-compiler-1 make-local-variable)`
and then define `byte-compile-make-local-variable`.
