There are a number of oddities about the behavior of merged cells,
basically coming (I think) from the way the merged cell is identified to
the various row/column manipulation functions. It may be a pretty deep
problem to fix. I've reported what is probably a related issue: a
vertically merged cell is allowed to break across page boundaries when
row breaks are not allowed. This is the other side of the coin from what
you're saying about being able to delete rows that have a vertically
merged spanning cell (I don't think it needs to be the first column,
though that's the most frequent, probably).
There's also interference with the cell boundary lines under various
conditions. Altogether, the merged cell needs to retain its individual
cell identities in some ways but not in others, which gets really
tricky! (And let's not even get into weird stuff like L-shaped cells,
with a mix of horizontal and vertical merging.)
I could not produce L-shaped cells in my testing. Does this work for
you? Under what conditions?

Never tried! I'm pretty sure I've used them at some point far away and
*long* ago, but I can't even come up with a plausible need for such a
thing now. Can you?
