That's odd.

Compare the pre-merge svn:mergeinfo with the post-merge copy to see if anything was changed:
        svn propget svn:mergeinfo https://.../root/trunk > a.txt
        svn propget svn:mergeinfo . > b.txt
        diff a.txt b.txt

If you run mergeinfo again (after the merge), does 6554 still show up in the list?
    svn mergeinfo ... | grep 6554

Do you see a trailing asterisk (*) for the branch in svn:mergeinfo? Ex:
    /branches/1.0:3166-3179*
If so, then there might be some quirk in how svn is recording a partially merged range.
        
Is it missing from all the svn:mergeinfo properties? (Run 'svn status' and run 'svn propget...' on the dirs with a 'M' in the second column.)
