But that prevents mergeinfo from being added.
So your merge has probably not been recorded.

See here for an in-depth discussion of how you should be merging
your branch back to trunk, and why:
http://blogs.open.collab.net/svn/2008/07/subversion-merg.html

It's also documented in the book, see the 'feature branches'
section on this page:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.branchmerge.commonpatterns.html

Note that the error message you are seeing is likely a symptom of
an outstanding bug which has been / will be fixed in trunk and 1.5
soonish. See this issue:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3067
See also this thread for discussion on eliminating a possible root
cause of the problem:
