IIUC, the usage of callback is, unfortunately, required to support
multi-range merge.
See e.g. http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=128091

So while it is indeed inconvenient to the user,
it may be the only way to avoid double-conflicts.
It would be nice callback implementation to postpone all conflicts
except actual doubles, but I have no idea whether it is possible.
Another similar but less effective option is to first try a merge with
conflict postponing, and if that fails due to double conflict, re-run
with interactive callback.
