Unexpected successful merge in a conflict

This is definitely a bug, where instead of reporting as a conflict, TortoiseMerge or SVN merge reports it as a successful merge. Please look into the attached zip file for checking this. I invoked the merge as

TortoiseMerge /base:basefile /theirs:theirsfile /mine:myfile /merged:myfile

I believe that the problem occurs when there is one modified line on one side and multiple modified lines at the same location on the other side. Also I think that the one modified line on the first side needs to be the last line of the multiple modified lines on the other side.

This problem leads to either compilation error in the merged file or unnoticeable run time errors.
