mergeinfo marked not inheritable on sparse checkout

If I have a sparse checkout of /trunk (say it has subdirectories dir1
and dir2, so I just have a working copy of /trunk/dir1), commit some
changes, switch my checkout to a branch, then try to merge the changes
I just committed, the mergeinfo property gets revisions marked with
"*" in the branch root, and updates mergeinfo in the directory with
the changes.

Is there any reason the merge has to have the "*", since there were no
changes outside of my working copy?
