Marek,
	I’m curious: have you used etcupdate before instead of mergemaster? If so when? If you ran into issues (UX as well as functional): could you please report them on bugs.freebsd.org <http://bugs.freebsd.org/> ?
	etcupdate is a less fragile tool that’s broken my systems less when compared with mergemaster.
Cheers,
