Example file from Calc

When autofilling adjacent merged cells containing Boolean True/False values in Calc, the results are incorrect compared to non-merged cell results.

Steps to reproduce:
    1. Open attached file
    2. In A2:B2 we have Boolean TRUE/FALSE values and in A3:B3 FALSE/TRUE
    3. In A5:D5 we have TRUE/FALSE in merged cells, and in A6:D6 FALSE/TRUE
    4. In C2:F2 the A2:B2 range was autofilled, and in C3:F3 the A3:F3 range. Here the TRU/FALSE values are alternating correctly.
    5. In E5:L5 the A5:D5 range was autofilled and in E6:L6 the A6:D6 range. Here the cell merging works correctly, but instead of the alternating TRU/FALSE values all contents are TRUE

Actual results:
As above.

Expected results:
Series detection should work in merged cells, giving the same results as with non-merged cells. Cell range E8:L9 illustrates this.
