I needed to dynamically generate local roles for an Archetypes based content object today.
Different layers in my Plone stack breaks all rules and reads the __ac_local_roles__ variable directly, instead of calling get_local_roles()
So to maximize the compatibility between Zopes zmi and Plones local roles management I wanted to make '__ac_local_roles__' a property with setters and getters.
it's not an answer to your original question (i have nothing to add to what fred already replied) but TeamSpace solves this by using a ComputedAttribute instead of a property for the dynamic local roles. all of the pertinent code is here, hope you find it useful: http://svn.plone.org/view/collective/teamspace/tags/1.4/security.py?rev=2460... -r
