System Information
Windows 7 64, HD 5770

Blender Version
Broken: 9337574 (2.71 release) & 4b4ae83

Short description of error
(IMPORTANT) If an Emtpys Display Type was set to a loaded Image and changed after (back to "Plain Axes" for example), the Empty is still handled as a user for the image.

I am not sure if this is intended - but this makes it hard to locate and clean up the unnecessary image if its hidden in an unused option.
Unfortunately I dont know how to delete it. Right click "Reset to default value" dont work, same in the datablocks.

(NOTE) Please note: Deleting the Empty helps in this case, but is not always desirable when the Empty is used as a Bone-Shape or in a modifier.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Create an Empty
Set Emptys Display Type to "Image"
Load any Image
Change Emptys Display Type to a different option (Plain Axes for example)

Problem: Image stays in the file, although it is not used.

Well, on the one hand it's good because you wouldn't loose the image if you accidentally change the view type. On the other hand, because of image is stored in the Object->data it can;t be unlinked..

@ideasman42, do you mind checking on this?
