System Information
Intel Core 2 Quad, 8 Gb RAM, NVidia GeForce GTX 960 2GB
Windows 7 x64

Blender Version
Broken: 2.77 e0c7aaf
Worked: 2.77a abf6f08

Short description of error
Appending creates linked image textures if object has shape keys. After saving and reloading linked image textures remain linked and not appended.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open Blender, select default Cube and add a shape key to it.
Go to Properties -> Texture and replace Cube's default generated texture with some image texture. Embedding image texture doesn't seem to make any difference.
Save file for further appending.
Create new file and do File -> Append -> [File from step 3] -> Object -> Cube.
Reselect appended Cube and go to Properties -> Texture

You can use my test file for appending - just open Blender and append my Cube instead of the default one. In 2.77a Cube's image texture will be appended while in latest build it will be linked.Append_Test1.blend

In 2.77a image texture will be appended just as expected.
In latest build image texture will appear linked rather than appended and this link won't disappear after reloading so image texture will remain linked.

Edit: this problem doesn't seem to appear in build 51b274a so this is most likely a fairly recent change. Build 51b274a also doesn't show linked duplicates of textures, materials and meshes after appending.

@mont29, one for your desk? :)

Actually, it’s not only textures, it’s mesh as well - you keep the two versions, localized one and linked one, of the mesh (and hence all its dependencies, including materials, textures, etc.). Most likely yet another stupid issue with those faked-datablocks of shapekeys :(
