It wasn't removed, it was resolved as invalid. I explained why it happens
there: if you use "Go" with a search phrase that matches an existing page
title, you will be taken to that title; in your case, one of the pages was a
redirect to another page, the other one was a disambiguation page. 

Bugzilla is for problems with the MediaWiki software, not problems with the
content of a Wikimedia project. The issue you described is not a MediaWiki
issue -- if it is an issue at all, it is one with the English Wikipedia's
content, and if you think that either of the pages [[Sarkozy]] or [[Merkel]]
should display something else, you are welcome to edit them accordingly.

Regarding the issue described in this bug, I can't tell for sure since I can't
find the page, but my guess is that the page contains the same content in many
different languages and JavaScript is used to display only one language at a
time to the user; while the page is loading and the script has not yet run, all
the languages will be viewable. It's not ideal but I know it's used in places
on multilingual projects like Commons.
