I should have branched and submit immediately so that #1 was just a copy.

I tried this with a new branch and it merged as required, but I'm not quite
sure why!
You can aways make it work with 'p4 integ -f'.
If 'best practice' is to branch and submit, why isn't this
enforced?
Because in the general case, p4 integrate/p4 resolve/p4 submit, it is expected
that there will be differences due to conflict resolution. It would be a
challenge
for Perforce to detect which modifications are needed for a proper merge and
which are "cheats" that add new chnges.
