I don't know what OS or version you're using but it seems to be working from here I just tested it in Windows A48 and Linux.  The simple test I did was logged in and tried to download the BBS list and on both OSes it says "Local mode:" and asked me to save.

Are you sure you're logging in with -L?  Make sure you're not setting the value of Local anywhere in any MPL anywhere, otherwise that will change it for the entire connection.

The ServerType that is used internally by Mystic for terminal services does have a Local mode value.  They should be (as of A48 current releases):

0=telnet,1=rlogin,2=ssh,3=modem,4=local,5=other

5 is left open broadly so (for example) someone could use that as a packet radio type if they wanted to and configure server type 5 to show up as "RADIO" in the callers list (or whatever else they want).
