This is desired behavior and applies equally to ignoreconflicts=description and ignoreconflicts=sitelink (and combinations of both).
Basically if either or both of these are set, we will just leave the conflicting piece of data (description or sitelink) on the Item we're merging from. As non-empty Items can't be turned into redirects, we can't automatically do that in the next steps (without having to "throw away" the data).
If we want to change this behavior, we need to decide what we want to do with the conflicting data in such cases.
