In your example (in the mailing list archive link), the file is not updated
by the merge, but the file's properties are. Shouldn't there be a
notification due to the properties being updated? Or are we trying to
suppress those when it is the mergeinfo property?

With the possible exception that we are trying to hide the updates to
mergeinfo properties, I'd have excpected to see a property update
notification.
