Blender Version
2.74 and latest

Short description of error
cannot delete materials of link object in new blend file, even though with permanent delete "shift+x".

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
open this file cannot delete material of link object in test _blend.rar
open test.blend file
go to material and browse the linked material, delete it and save it.
revert the test.blend file and go to material and browse again linked material and still exist,
imagine , if multiple linked objects with multiple linked materials in one file, how to delete them all, if convert to single user but the link data still exist...cannot be delete

I deleted materials from python console, but it surely revives when I load a file.

I think that it is that the method that can delete present conditions it transfers lib path of libraries to the file which does not exist in outliner and saves it as a different file.
When the file is loaded on the next time, an error occurs, but a link of library should be deleted at time.

Though the number of the users of the library is 1, I think that what it is linked to is not right.

The reason the materials references are kept is this file links in a Group called link,

In the outliner, you can Unlink the group, so the material references are removed on save, load.

We realize this area can be quite opaque to the user, but this isn't a bug.
