tl;dr: PrimeNet is glitchy, and does that sometimes. Wait another few days and try again. (I believe you that it's not a fluke, as the link explains, it's happened to many of us before.)

1. PrimeNet has been slower than usual in general the last couple weeks
2. Don't try this during the first 10 minutes of an hour when the server is busy producing hourly reports, etc
3. It will take longer if the CPUs you are merging have lots of records (results, assignments, etc)
4. If you have more than 2 duplicates still only merge two at a time
