%%%--- Operating System, Graphics card ---
Mac OS X 10.8

- Blender version with error, and version that worked ---

2.67rc1

- Short description of error ---

When you add an animation of some kind to an object, an action gets associated to it, and this is displayed in the outliner. All well and good. But, if you later delete all actions from that object, so it no longer has any animations attatch to it at all, the outliner icon will persist. It can't be expanded, since there's nothing under it. It appears to just stick around for no reason at all, making it seem like you didn't REALLY unlink the action from the object. It won't go away even if you remove ALL action datablocks from the project file and re-open it. It seems to be the only outliner tag that persists like this.

- Steps for others to reproduce the error (preferably based on attached .blend file) ---

Assign some animation to an object, a transform keyframe will do fine.
Unlink all actions and drivers from the object. Note that the animation section in the outliner is still there, but no longer has anything in it.%%%

%%%Lazy coding here, and even though it's code-wise logically correct, it doesn't make sense for a UI :)
Added fix in svn. Thanks for the report!
