Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
i included 3 files:

This isn't going to work (linked objects being parented to local objects).

So the best thing is to fail gracefully. we could:

Warn after setting local (in these cases)
Clear the parent immediately (optionally warn), so at least no surprises on reload.

so it is intended, i prefer the later option of clearing the parent immediately.

also the same happens when making a proxy of the parent, is this also intended?

thank you.

@ideasman42, we've got some checks in Make Local operator, which doesn't make local objects which are still referenced by linked data. There's no checks done in the Make Local button next to the ID datablock.

Seems we just need to share some functions across those two cases.

Guess it's okay to change this a todo for now? (Will leave it open though as it seems you intend to work on it)
