I have everything set to "Builtin". I have made some screenshots to
clarify: http://users.telenet.be/pompom/tortoise/
Notice how " \theirs:" is appended to the filename in the left pane.

It seems there is a problem with the %base parameter. If I set the
external merge program to
TortoiseMerge.exe /theirs:%theirs /yours:%mine /base:%base
I get the expected result.
But when it is set to
TortoiseMerge.exe /base:%base /theirs:%theirs /yours:%mine
the result is wrong, like with the builtin option.

I have tried a program that just prints out the command line
parameters as external merge tool, which gives these results:

If the order is /theirs, /yours, /base, it works correctly:
1: /theirs:c:\temp\svn002.tmp.txt
2: /yours:G:\temp\merge1\test.txt
3: /base:G:\temp\merge1\.svn\text-base\test.txt.svn-base

If the order is /base, /theirs, /yours (with double quotes around
%base, %theirs and %mine):
1: /base:G:\temp\merge1\.svn\text-base\test.txt.svn-base /theirs:"c:\temp\svn000
.tmp.txt
2: /yours:G:\temp\merge1\test.txt
3:

If the order is /base, /theirs, /yours (without double quotes):
1: /base:G:\temp\merge1\.svn\text-base\test.txt.svn-base /theirs:c:\temp\svn001.
tmp.txt /yours:G:\temp\merge1\test.txt
2:
3:

It seems the %base parameters somehow gets concatenated with the next
parameter.

I hope this helps you to reproduce this.
