It does work. In fact linked is False by default.

How to see that working:

load factory settings
bpy.ops.add_named(linked=False, name="Cube")

(note, the name needs to match an existent object, maybe that's your problem?).
Closing it by now, but I can re-open if you still have this issue.

I pushed a "fix" for this : 3d7e0aae52
Basically you now get an error message to your problem, it should help to clarify what is the issue in your file.

According to http://www.blender.org/documentation/blender_python_api_2_69_10/bpy.ops.object.html the API lists that it adds a new object -and not duplicates meshes from an existing one-, also the name suggests that too!

I may only consider it a fix not to break compatibility as we already have another way to make a new named object

bpy.data.objects.new()

@Ton do you want to chime in here? It seems you created this operator to use with drag&drop.
