In that case, use the &g: prefix. For example, try the following
experiment:
:set spell
:new
:setl spell!
:echo &spell &l:spell &g:spell
I think you should get
0 0 1
(as I do). So &spell references the local value of the option, not the
global value. Now, consider the lines
let w:spellkeep = &spell
...
if exists("w:spellkeep")|let &spell = w:spellkeep |unlet w:spellkeep|endif
in $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/netrw.vim . The first sets w:spellkeep to the
local value, and the second sets the global value.
Bottom line: while testing the OP's problem before my original
post on this thread, I did find that options ended up being set in ways
I did not want nor expext, and
:verbose set spell?
told me that netrw was the culprit.

I think I see the problem. In $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/netrw.vim , in
the function netrw#DirBrowse() , there are the lines
if &fo =~ '[ta]'
set fo-=t
set fo-=a
echohl Warning
echo '***warning*** directory browsing and formatoptions "ta" are
incompatible'
echohl None
endif
(I am not sure that I ever get to see that warning message.) I think
that replacing :set with :setlocal will fix the problem. Remember, when
dealing with a local option, :set changes both the local value and the
global default; :setlocal changes only the value.
I think other options are being affected, too. I am too
bleary-eyed to be sure, but I think that 'spell' and 'tw' in other
buffers are being affected by the netrw window. I think the problem
comes from lines like
if exists("w:spellkeep")|let &spell = w:spellkeep |unlet w:spellkeep|endif
if exists("w:twkeep") |let &tw = w:twkeep |unlet w:twkeep |endif
Instead of
:let &spell = ...
I think it should be
:let &l:spell = ...
:help local-options
:help expr-option
