Confirmed here, using 15.1. However, it behaves as expected using the
HEAD of the 15 branch.

I think this got fixed as a side-effect of 3706cc97aa [1], though that
commit doesn't explicitly mention MERGE, it does fix a bug in the way
we identified GENERATED columns that need updating, making that
process much more robust.

If so, the fix should be available in 15.2, in a couple of weeks.

(As an aside, perhaps we should add a regression test case for this.)

Thanks for the report.
