Thanks for investigating, Paul.  This is what I'm talking about:

    # ### Bug? The mergeinfo ranges recorded by the merge differ
    #     slightly for a single-file merge vs. a dir merge.  That's
    #     incidental to the purpose of this test, so we work around it
    #     with "target == file and 'X' or 'Y'".
    expect = expected_out_and_err(tgt_ospath,
                                  target == file and '3-4,5-11' or '3-4,6-11',
                                  ['3-4', '6-8,10-11'],
                                  prop_resolved=1, expect_error=False)
    try_merge(target, 4, [], expect, '3-11')

When the target is a file, the mergeinfo notification says it's recording revisions 3-4 and then 5-11; with a dir merge, it says it's recording revisions 3-4 and then 6-11, *excluding* r5.

I don't see the difference in recording r2, that you are showing me.  Could that be an artifact of you running the test in a slightly different manner?

I have just (r1459410) tweaked the test initialization (for this and several other tests) to change directory to the WC before starting, so that most of the local paths it prints are short and no longer start with 'svn-test-work/working_copies/merge_tests-138/', to make this kind of inspection easier.

For the file (pasting from the test run verbose output):
[[[

For the dir:

Right, but in the second half of the merge it said it was recording mergeinfo for r5, whereas for the merge from ^/A/B to A2/B, it doesn't.

I'm not sure this is relevant, since the dir merges that the test tries are all merges of the 'B' subdirectory, not of the 'A'/'A2' parent directory.

An oversight, but should be irrelevant.  I'll tidy it up by doing an "svn up" before the copy (committed, r1459419).  It makes no difference to the r5 anomaly that I'm demonstrating.
