Best to send questions like this to community.neo4j.com In general if you aggregate, you must not add the thing you want to count / aggregate on as an aggregation key, you can use collect on those.
MATCH (echk:REC {id: 'abcdef'}) OPTIONAL MATCH (p:Person) WHERE p.name CONTAINS 'Shirley' WITH collect(p) as people, echk, count(p) as personcnt where personcnt=1 UNWIND people as p MERGE (p)-[:TEST]->(echk) You don't need apoc.merge.relationship for your case you can just use cypher.
