Okay so this kind of code pattern originates from HyperCard which did not

Upshot: There's no reason to use 'local' in do if you are initializing the
variable at that point. Indeed, one could argue that it is better to do:
do "put empty into tVar_" & x
Which all goes to reinforce my initial feeling; the Example given in the
Dictionary for <local> is negative learning. Noted added to my ever
increasing pile of Dictionary improvements.
Please consider logging those in the bug report so the dev team and/or
the community can address them.
Better still, if you have time you can update that Dictionary entry
yourself:
