P.Brian, It works when you do this.. I know it doesn't explain why, but this might be your workaround.

#Persistent
GlobalVariable = "blah"
RETURN

ARoutine:
{
   localVariable := "asdf"
   MsgBox, The global variable value is %GlobalVariable%.  The local variable value is %localVariable%.
}
Return
