The current behaviour is exactly as it was designed, you cant technically merge something that has conflicts. If you try to merge two items that both an an enwiki sitelink then you are probably doing something wrong and should resolve the conflict before merging.
Having the merge api automatically discard conflicts would mean you could merge Q1 with Q2 and nothing would complain.

Indeed, and if a user desires this is:
- call wbmergeitems
- call wbeditentity to clear the item
- call wbcreateredirect
