It's UTF8 text from a server, which I textDecode to UTF16. When I use the UTF16 text in a merge, diacriticals and/or curly quotes get mangled. (Same with setting metadata on field text too.)

Do you mean "encoded to UTF-16"? In that case you should decode that to convert 
it to internal text. And then try merge. (Which still might have problems, I suppose.)

It seems that the merge command doesn't respect unicode. Does anyone have a 
workaround? The text I'm inserting is already decoded to UTF16.
