That's not exactly true, the docs say under $merge: "This method has been deprecated. Please use Object.merge instead."
Like I'm going to open the compat script and to decide if they are supposed to be the same. The blog post also said: "In order to reduce the number of global variables, we have moved all $-prefixed functions into the most appropriate namespaces available" So it's perfectly reasonable to expect the same behavior.
