It is correct.

Me too, I hope you'll understand my explanation.

The "resolved" command is used to tell Subversion that *you* resolved
the conflict. That's why it then changes the status to "modified".
But since you really did not resolve the conflict but only told
Subversion that it was, you still have the conflict markers in your file.

Well, there are. But you most likely have TortoiseMerge configured to
ignore EOL/whitespace changes, so a conflict due to such differences
won't show up in TortoiseMerge.

Yes of course. Again, you just told Subversion that you resolved the
conrflict, but you actually haven't resolved it (basically, you're lying
to Subversion).
You should have clicked on "save" in TortoiseMerge first.
