    As a workaround: Expand the model in the Project View by clicking on the little triangle left of the blender file. Find the materials in the list, right click them and choose "Extract from Prefab". Now a subfolder will appear named "Materials". Here you can change the shaders and properties for each material.

    Had the same issue with a model from blendswap.com/blend/8066

    I tried to remove all the materials and textures and do it all over again, but still the same problem.

    I got a reply from the unity people after filing a bug report forwarding to this thread. They said they were tracking it here. Hope this helps them finding a solution.
