this means that no library can depend of features of another library, which is not part of the stable release or am i missing something?

Yes. X/develop can't depend on Y/develop, only on Y/master. ----------^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

IMHO, that should be displayed in the guidelines in bold.

If library X depends on library Y and needs some feature/fix of library Y in order to correctly implement some feature/fix of library X it seems to me that library X/develop can rely on library Y/develop, at least for individual testing of library X.

...library Y receives a bug fix and issues a hotfix release merged back to master upon release. ...library Y receives a feature and merges it into develop, then...good question, since Y and X are no longer 'stitched' together they were in SVN trunk. I remember, there was a discussion about testing library (was it serialisation or filesystem?) which had been performed against SVN release branch, not SVN trunk what makes little sense.
