I've tried to reproduce this, but I can't figure out what's wrong with
the merge (if it really is).

If I edit the conflict *during* the merge, everything seems ok.
If I edit the conflict after the merge (i.e., click on "resolve later"),
it too looks ok to me. TMerge shows the conflicted lines correctly, I
can't see any difference between what TMerge shows and the conflicted
lines in the file.

Can you maybe provide more information on what you see and what you
would expect? Maybe some screenshots of TMerge?
