Blender Version
Broken: 2.75a-c27589e 64bit

Short description of error
If any 3d view is in local mode bpy.ops.object.select_by_layer() fails to select all objects on the layer. Even if the view is not used anymore.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open the default scene
Open a second 3d view
Select the cube
Set the second 3d view to local mode (numpad '/') so that it's only showing the cube
Deselect all objects
Enter bpy.ops.object.select_by_layer(layers=1) to python console
Result: All other object on layer 1 are selected but the cube.

The strangest part is that if you close the 3d view that is in local mode, the cube cannot still be selected with select_by_layer until you open another 3d view set it to local mode with the cube and back to global mode.
