C-h v bibtex-dialect says:

  During a session change it via `bibtex-set-dialect'.

which is perhaps not 100% clear, but means that if bibtex-mode is
already loaded (which it will be by the time local variables are
processed), you must either change the value with M-x customize or by
calling that function. Just using a setq is not enough. So to have a
buffer-local value you must use something like:

;; -*- eval: (bibtex-set-dialect 'biblatex) -*-
