That's expected behavior. When you do a merge, the URL shown in the
merge dialog is usually something different than the URL of the item you
right-clicked in the working copy (usually, you merge something into
your working copy from a different branch - for reverse-merges and
undoing changes there's an option in the log dialog).

That's why the merge dialog shows the last used URL from a merge. It's
more common that this URL is the one the user wants.
