I believe it is up to the file to opt-out of compilation. If the file is created with add-dir-local-variable there is a boiler plate header inserted which opts out: ;;; Directory Local Variables -*- no-byte-compile: t -*- ;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables") >> We can workaround this by skipping native compilation for >> .dir-locals.el.

I don't think there is any upstream bug. The solution would be to add the missing header to the .dir-locals.el file. -- Morgan Willcock
