This is caused by the current internal design of TortoiseMerge.

When opening a file, TortoiseMerge does not try to guess the file's
encoding. If it would assume the user's code page (korean or japanese
or whatever), it might destroy the file's content if the file happens
to be UTF-8 without a BOM. And this file format is frequently used for
XML files. To prevent that, TortoiseMerge does not convert anything in
this case.
