Sorry I have no idea what the problem is. That's basically the same as
the 'merge detects mod-256 conflicts (recursive)' test earlier but
with rerere enabled. It does not even look like some leftover rerere
records accidentally fix the conflict.

I tried with a case-insensitive filesytem (on linux) and with
--valgrind, no problem found. Travis on pu seemed ok with t7600 on
mac.

One difference I notice is the the failed test looks like it found the
wrong merge base

found 1 common ancestor:
c4c4222 commit 1

while my tests have "commit 0" as the base. "git log --graph
--oneline" indicates "commit 1" is the wrong base.

Something is wrong with the merge code (this has not even reached the
new --quit code). I could change the setup steps to be more stable,
using a simpler commit history, but this looks like something we
should find and fix.
