System Information
Ubuntu 64 bit, Windows 7 64 bit

Blender Version
Broken: 2.77, 2.77a
Worked: 2.76, 2.76b

Short description of error
It's impossible to copy a linked object (mantaining the linked library) from a file to another one

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Create a file named library.blend with a cube inside
Insert the cube into a group (named cube_group)
Create a file named scene1.blend and link inside it the cube_group from library.blend, move our scale or pose your cube_group inside the scene 1
Create scene2.blend and append the object cube_group from the scene1.blend inside the scene 2

otherwise we can append a whole scene ( with linked libraries) into a new file to see that now all the libraries are lost

In the zip file there are:

a library.blend file
a scene1.blend file with the link to the group in the library
a scene2.blend file with the append of the empty from the scene1.blend. Here the link to the mesh is lost (the mesh is into the scene)
a scene2_blender276.blend file with the correct append behaviour from Blender 2.76b
