svnmerge and new subversion merge-tracking question

We have a recurring issue in our development that I was curious to see
how other people handle it and most curious to see if the new
merge-tracking for 1.5 will solve the issue.

There are three branches:

trunk --- Mainline development (duh :))
task_branch -- temporary branch off of trunk for working a particular task
release 1.0 branch -- Stable release branch originally off trunk (a while back)

So you are working along making commits to "task_branch". Eventually
you merge all your changes (or some subset) from the "task_branch"
back into "trunk", complete with the svnmerge maintained property
(svnmerge-integrated). It turns out your changes fix an issue that
exists in the "release 1.0 branch" so you dutifully merge the changes
from "trunk" to "release 1.0 branch". The trouble is, that revision
on trunk contains a modification to the 'svnmerge-integrated' property
because it was performed with svnmerge, but *this* svnmerge operation
ALSO modified svnmerge-integrated and so it produces a conflict.

It does appear to be alway safe to resolve the conflict on the second
merge immediately as you don't really want the trunk merge-tracking
info. However, it seems quite clunky and I know that some of the less
sophisticated users get confused when it happens.

What do other people do to address this situation? With this still be
a problem with the new merge-tracking in 1.5?

Thanks
