No, not a problem. It's very useful to see examples of where git's behavior was counterintuitive and the documentation was more obscure than it could have been. I should also emphasize the "halfhearted" above. There's a lot of room for improvement in rebase --preserve-merges's handling of "evil" and otherwise amended merges.
