In case anyone has a wish to examine my (now pretty messy) test 
script, here it is - sorry for not having time to clean it up! :(

What I get when I diff original and "rebased" merge is this:

    diff --git a/test.txt b/test.txt
    index a82470b..d458032 100644
    --- a/test.txt

... where A21 to A25 are additions due to new base, B11 was

interactively added :)

We don`t see line X here, being an "evil merge" amendment being 
correctly preserved from original merge commit (thus not a 
difference). If we do `git show` of the "rebased" merge, we get this, 
as expected:

    diff --cc test.txt
    index b173cef,fad39a8..d458032
