Occasionally, clicking "show preview" may delete large sections of an article
without producing an edit summary. This is "fixed" when the edits are saved,
but is clearly not atomic.

I don't see this related to bug 649. A preview doesn't call merge function.
Actually, it doesn't even save the text.
Can anyone reproduce this behaviour?

What is meant by this? Do you mean to say that clicking the preview button will
save the edit?

Yes, on rare occasions. The history will contain a number of partial edits when
"save page" is clicked.

shows that the last part of the article was lost, which is consistent with bug 1458.
