System Information
Operating system: Windows 8.1 64 bit
Graphics card: nVidia GT740M

Blender Version
Broken: 2.80
Worked: 2.79b

Short description of error
Duplicating objects (Shift+D) duplicates materials as well (which is NOT expected).
Linked duplicates (Alt+D) correctly keep the original material (which IS expected).

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
The spheres are linked duplicates - they share the same material.
The planes are simple duplicates - the duplicate got a duplicate of the original material.

It's very annoying to always re-set the original material to every duplicate, save the file and HOPE that some duplicate material doesn't load again.

It may happen that you reopen the file and some 0 user material is still present in the file.

Thank you.

Cannot reproduce here.

What is your setting for Preferences > Editing > Objects > Duplicate Data > Material?
Does this also happen with Factory Defaults (Duplicate Data > Material should be off then...)?
