There appears to be a bug with the "Create New Inherited Materials" option of the "Material Import Method" of the FBX Import Options. Instead of creating a material instance of the material specified in the "Base Material Name" of the FBX Import Options, it creates a generic "standard material".
The correct behavior is the imported objects get a new instance of the base material specified in the FBX Import options.
There's no existing public thread on this issue, so head over to Questions & Answers just mention UE-179095 in the post.
