Short description of error
When making a Proxy of e.g. a linked Armature, the users refcount of the linked datablock is not incremented.
But when deleting it, the refcount is decremented, eventually reaching zero if recreating the proxy a few times.
In blender 2.79b this problem does not appear, as users refcount in neither incremented nor decremented for proxy creation or deletion.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

1. Save the two attached blends in the same folder.
2. Open use_cube.blend
3. In the Data API outliner look for the users number of the object 'Cube_armature' and watch it for the next steps
4. Delete the proxy armature
5. recreate the proxy for 'Cube_armature'
6. repeat steps 4-5 until user count will reach zero and below error will be printed in terminal
