Comment(by SimonKing):

 Replying to [comment:14 SimonKing]:
 > Note that there is an additional problem, namely that there is no
 coercion from a p-adic field of high precision to a p-adic field of lower
 precision. I hope sage-devel will answer whether this issue is worth a
 separate ticket.

 Sage-devel (more precisely Robert Bradshaw) wrote that the meaning of
 "precision" is different for completion at Infinity and at finite primes,
 and it makes sense that sometimes the precision is non-decreasing and
 sometimes non-increasing under coercion.

 So, I guess I have to modify the merge method of the Completion funtor,
 rather than the _coerce_map_from method of p-adic rings.
