Yes, never do the merge. Second, make the developer do the fix twice. That's
often done where I have worked. It's error prone if developers only do the
fix once, but no more so than the bugs introduced by merges which destroy
new work silently. (Sometimes the fix is irrelevant to the new code line
anyway.)
