@Julian Eisel (Severin), @Bastien Montagne (mont29): is this going to be resolved with D8554: UI: Redesign data-block selector for extensibility, or is there actually something more going wrong?

Short answer is: this should not be used to make an override of an object.

That button works, if you check your IDs you'll see your local override of the object, but it does not replace the instantiation of the linked one in the relevant collection, so in the scene itself you still have the linked one instantiated, you have to remove it and link the local override instead yourself.

While not ideal, there is no bug here, the way objects are handled (instantiated) in Blender makes them rather complicated to deal with in general. Better to use the appropriate operator instead.
