When merging the history of one page into the history of another page using Special:MergeHistory, the source page is (usually) turned into a redirect. So the effective content of that page changes completely. Because of that, links tables (for what links here, categories, etc) and other derived data (such as the search index) need to be updated to reflect the change. This is currently not the case.
