I am afraid you are misunderstanding the script.

CONFIG_LOCALVERSION and the "+" sign is unrelated.

So, scripts/setlocalversion will always see
defined LOCALVERSION.

With your patch, LOCALVERSION would be set to an empty value,
which would make the following condition always false.

elif [ "${LOCALVERSION+set}" != "set" ]; then


Your patch is equivalent to deleting
line 175-183 of scripts/setlocalversion.

Of course, that is wrong and unacceptable.
