"ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "XXXX_pkey" always pops up when merging PostGIS features

Description

This is a regression in 1.8 and master since 1.7.4

Pick a PostGIS layer and select two features, then in the advanced editing toolbar use the "merge features" tool.

When saving edits you will always get a

ERROR: duplicate key value
violates unique constraint "XXXX_pkey"

like message.

The save operation usually goes ok anyway, but sometimes something very bad happens, and the merged features disappear completely without any notice.

I think I might be able to work on this bug but I don't have a PostGIS layer, or in this case 2. I am going to guess that there is something specifically setting the primary key with the merge instead of creating a new one. Can someone upload two PostGIS layers to merge as a test case?

I can provide you access (privately) to a test postgis server, but wouldn't be easier to install in your box PostgreSQL and PostGIS? Cheers.
