No, that's not something that any merge can do - it's one of those
occasions when you need to rewrite history to drop the problematic
stuff, or just decide it's OK to live with it. I'm not sure if anyone
is actually going to *care* about an example like this where it's fairly
clearly unintentional and there's a second copy with everything in
order, but it'd be nice to fix.
