They are not exported.

	% env -i /opt/local/bin/dash
	$ export MAIL=v
	$ unset -v MAIL
	$ export
	export MAIL
	export PWD='/private/tmp'
	$ env
	PWD=/private/tmp

Their local counterparts are not exported, either.

	% env -i /opt/local/bin/dash
	$ f() { local FOO=v; export FOO; unset -v FOO; export; env; }
	$ f
	export FOO
	export PWD='/private/tmp'
	PWD=/private/tmp
