Thanks @Saburo for pointing that out.  Un-checking that make the missing border
appear, which is at least a work-around.    I think there is still a bug here:

The man page for "Merge with next para" says:

"The rules can be condensed to the statement that the stronger attribute wins.
If, for example, one cell has a red border of 2 point width, and the adjacent
cell has a blue border of 3 point width, then the common border between these
two cells will be blue with 3 point width."

Here are the settings for the three paragraphs in the right-hand column:

Para #1: Borders: None; Padding: 0 on all sides
Para #2: Borders: 0.5pt black top;  Padding: 0.02" Top, others 0
Para #3 (RED): Borders: 0.5pt black top;  Padding: 0.02" Top, others 0
----
If I increase *bottom* padding in para #2 from 0 to 0.02" then the top border
of the third paragraph appears.   However that pushes the para#3 text downward
undesirably (so it does not line up with paragraphs in the first column).

But strangely, if I increase only the *top* padding in para#2 from 0.02" to
0.50" (leaving bottom padding at zero), then the top border of para#3 appears! 
This seems to make no sense i.e. if the "Merge" rule was comparing the bottom
of para #2 with the top of para #3 then changing the top of para #2 should not
have any effect.
