I believe based on the doc here that .stream_local() only finds public statuses and won't pickup unlisted posts. and I think it's often the case that trolls and harassers will use unlisted replies so that their abuse doesn't end up in the public firehose.
I had actually been playing around with this on friday and implemented a rather cumbersome workaround that compiled a list of all the recent posts from the local timeline and then checked, .status_context(post_id)['descendants'] on them periodically to see if anyone had added a new reply. It isn't ideal, but you might think about that in a future update.
