System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19044-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 with Max-Q Design/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 511.69

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.3.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2022-07-17 00:27, hash: cd1e4ae448
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
Missing library / broken link warning does not go away when the broken link resolved and reloaded.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Create two .blend files.
Create a collection in file1 with a cube. Save. Close.
Link the collection in file1 into file2. Save. Close.
Rename file1.blend to file3.blend.
Open file2 and you will have a broken link "Blender File" hierarchy.
Without closing blender, rename file3.blend to file1.blend.
Right click on the broken link in the "Blender File" hierarchy and choose "Reload" (there will be two places where you need to do this).
The blender file will correct itself but the link will still show as broken in the "Blender File" hierarchy.

file2.blend

file3.blend

[Other notes]
Discovered in 3.2.1

Not sure which version of Blender 3.3 you are using, but the ability to 'rename' libraries in the Outliner has been removed, since the proper workflow for years now has been to use the 'relocate' operation (from right-click menu in the Outliner).

That being said, indeed 'reload' operation (if you e.g. rename the blend file itself back to file1.blend in OS file browser while file2.blend is open in Blender, and then reload the lib in Blender) is indeed not properly updating the status of the library, will check on that.
