System Information
Operating system and graphics card
windows 7 intel HD 460 onboard

Blender Version
Broken: (example: 2.69.7 4b206af, see splash screen)
Worked: (optional)
2.76b

Short description of error
I made a dungeon with 3 materials, floor, ceiling, walls. The fbx only imports 1 material
into Unity, while the OBJ imports all 3.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Dungeon's too big but here's how to make one.

Please try to attach files here, external storage tends to vanish over time… example_export.zip

Unfortunately, this archive is missing the main piece - the .blend file itself.

I can confirm obj has several materials/textures, and FBX has only one, but without the original .blend file this is rather useless. ;)

dungeon_hallway.zip

Does not really help, there is only one material in that .blend, so there is only one in exported FBX… nothing new so far.

Here's one with the 3 mats, textures are in the example_export.zip I think

sigh well, that one has three materials, which are all three exported to FBX, and load back as three materials in Blender. Did you try to load that one in Unity? given the first FBX you gave here only had one material…

beats the heck out of me, the dungeon hallway imports properly to Unity as an FBX, it's just
my main dungeon only has 1 material, at least it's not a bug with blender I guess, if it doesn't do
animated FBX then it will be. Thanks for checking, not to change subject, but is there some addon
that will lock verts edges and faces, I'm always trashing my model in uv editing, if I click in
3d view instead of uv view.

You know you can simply put your .blend in the Unity Project assets folder and it will properly import everything for you. After that, when you double click on your asset, it will open blender (from unity) so you can edit your model. I always work in unity that way, saves everything from model, armature, actions (animations), UVs, smoothing groups, shape keys, materials and textures. Most people think you have to export .fbx to work with unity, but really, no need, just save your .blend, and put it in your unity assets folder (in your operating system, not through unity with drag and drop)....
