To be yet more precise:

My complaint is that you need this kind of sledge-hammer solutions to
analyze the situation. I, as an semi-expert with git did manage to find the
problem without even having to resort to bisect or manually redoing the
merge. My complaint is about the perspective of the medium-experienced user
who is completely puzzled by the fact that a
"git log<filename>" silently skips the critical merge commit.

Do the -c --cc or -m flags for git log help in this case?
They alter the way merge diffs are presented, as described under Diff Formatting
in the git-log(1)  man page.

Indeed, these help somewhat. This way, the changes are not hidden, but instead lost in the multitude of trivially-resolved conflicts...
