I'm not sure how the users are creating the edits, but it seems like unintended behaviour.

Propably with the client sitelink widget.

When they use Special:MergeItems no redirect is created when there is a conflict with descriptions. Rest of the merge is performed. Don't know if the user gets an error message. The merge gadget has a workaround to make sure a redirect is created.

Do you know this, or think? I usually get the error message and no merge is initiated.

AFAIK, sitelink widget blocks merge and reports error on statement and/or sitelink conflict but does niether on description conflict which causes these merges not to complete.
