Could you add in nmake.opt a comment line about VSFRIENDLYVERSION to explain that it is not used by GDAL itself ? but then I'm not completely sure how do you use it exactly. I suspect you edit nmake.opt itself to have path that depend on VSFRIENDLYVERSION ? However the recommended way if not modifying nmake.opt but editing nmake.local.

I have added the comment.
You are right, I usually tune the nmake.opt, I just did not know the nmake.local trick.

Upon reflection, I'd prefer if you drop the changes in nmake.opt. I can see the point of the VSFRIENDLYVERSION idea but the fact that it can't work in nmake.local is a bit unsatisfactory
