Bug Description
Using Inkscape 0.91 r13725 and Windows XP.
The attached file demonstrates an issue with the Extensions-
The 2 lines of text in the centre of the drawing were split into lines from a single text object specfically created so as to avoid the issue of manual kerns..
Using Extensions->Text-> Merge with the default settings generated the text at the upper left of the attached.
It's wrong because
i) It's upside down - rendering the first line below the second.
ii) It's merged to the Origin of the SVG, as opposed to the locally defined page origin, or to the original text baseline of the first text object selected.

Thanks for taking the time to file a report!
i) Not a bug in my humble opinion. The default value for the Text direction option is Left to right, so the bottom line -that is also the leftmost line- is first selected. Setting the option to Top to bottom should work as expected.
Could you please confirm?
ii) If I remember correctly, it was intentional so that the generated test doesn't interfere too strongly with the text on the page. If you need something else we can change the report into a request for enhancement.
