System Information
Windows 10
GeForce GTX 770

Blender Version
Broken: 2.76b f337fea

Short description of error
Changing operator settings of first inserted object removes linked background images added via drag and drop

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

open new Blend file
drag in image
add object
modify insertion operation parameters by either the menu or F6-pop-up
background image reference gets removed from the blend file
In my testing it happened on multiple systems and there was no difference whether the blend file was saved after dragging in the image or not. Packing the image into the blend file did not lead to the error. Adding the background image via the background images menu also did not lead to the error to occur.

Seems we're missing undo pushes on drag-drop here.

@JulianEisel, something you're fine to get familiar with? ;)

@Chipe1, since you claimed the task: I got a fix for this ready since some days, just noted another issue that I wanted to look into more before committing. The fix for this bug itself is easy, good for beginners, so if you think you can fix it just go ahead. But if you don't find the solution, please mention that here and I'll commit.

This isn't a bug but a design limitation. Additionally, there is a patch for that now.

So thanks for the report, but archiving as a known limitation which is being worked on.
