The attached diff is a better solution. Instead of trying Compare and
catching with Merge, only Compare is attempted. Compare is set with
the IgnoreAllComparisonWarnings Variant as True (True compares the
documents without notifying a user of problems. The default value is
False.). It was actually the IgnoreAllComparisonWarnings Variant set
as False causing the script to fail, not Compare itself.

Please commit for 1.4.1!
