@Beck : please provide the Writer document you are using as the basis for the merge, the archive only contains the Calc file and two output PDF files

In the end I also had to create an ODB file to host the Calc document, and then assign it to the Writer document. Added as attachment.

Yes, as I mentioned in comment 3, I confirmed the buggy behaviour, and set the report to CONFIRMED. Now it is up to any developer who happens to have the time and inclination in trying to fix it (or not, as the case may be, depending on how hard it might be to fix).
