Using --diff-cmd=/usr/bin/diff3 says merGed but is Conflict

Subversion version 1.2.3 on RedHat Linux 7.2 using diff3 version 2.7.2.

I have specified that it should use the external diff3 by setting
the diff3_cmd setting in the site-wide configuration file and it's
picking up on this setting. During a three-way diff, Subversion
reports the file as merGed but diff3 puts the .mine, .revNEW,
.revOLD files on the filesystem and it also merges the conflict
markers into the file I updated (detailed information can be
provided if needed). I was tracing this in Subversion's
sourcecode and from what I can tell, here's what's happening:

Subversion makes two runs to libsvn_wc/merge.c's svn_wc_merge() during
the update. During the first, dry_run is 1, during the
second, it is 0. My problem is that during the dry run
Subversion uses its internal diff3 (which is producing the
merGe'd state) and during the second phase it's using the
external diff3 utility which is telling me this is a Conflict.

Have I run into a bug or have I misconfigured Subversion in some way?
Let me know if there's any other information I can provide to make
it easier to answer this question.

Thanks for any pointers,
Erik.
