On further thought, I now realize it was somewhat unfair for me to blame MLO for this problem, since in a way the behavior makes sense in terms of the logic of the "Use local version" setting. But it's not ideal. So I guess what's really needed is an option under "Both sides changed item" that says "Use most recent version". That would solve the problem.
