no named parameters

I have no idea what you mean since the entire purpose of tst in the code you posted is to provide named parameters (using a bad syntax). Could I buy a verb please?

UPDATE: oversaw the readmore-part,

It's not behind a readmore.

Could you show me an example with pack-vars where magic (other than tie) results in problems after an explicit local?

tie is the Pure Perl interface to Magic. It's implemented using Magic, so anything tie can do, so can Magic.

You're looking for any magic that has a side-effect that isn't undone by the end of the following: 

my $saved = $magical;
...
$magical = ...;
...
$magical = $saved;
