Short description of error
Even with "is library overridable" checked, a linked object's custom property is not editable.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Open the attached file, select the cube and in the object properties tab note that the custom property "prop" has "is library overridable" checked.

Close the file, open a new file, and link the sphere from the attached file, select the sphere and do "object > relations > make library override".
In the N panel with the sphere selected pick the item tab and open the properties dropdown,
Note that the "prop" property is greyed out and any attempt to edit it results in a "disabled ..." popup.

This seems to work fine in both 3.2 and 3.3. Just to double check, did you make sure to select the overridden object after executing the operator? Maybe you still have the linked object select?

D'oh, I feel really stupid now, you're right, I hadn't realised that "create library override" created a whole new object. Please feel free to close and ignore any future bug reports from me :-).
