This is expected behavior. You've just created a working copy with
mixed revisions. The files in your working copy are all still
unmodified relative to their base revisions. It's just that they
don't all have the same base revision anymore.

The correct command to accomplish what you are attempting to
accomplish is "Revert changes from this revision". (If you want to
revert the most recent N revisions you can also use "Revert to this
revisions"). These commands will make the changes necessary to revert
the given revisions on your local working copy (much like the merge
operation). Subsequently you can then check these local changes back
into the repository. You'll find these two commands in the context
menu (right mouse button) for log entries in the window opened by the
command "Show log".
