Evaluating this (to update the definition that merlin mode uses) should 
fix your problem:

(defun merlin/unmake-point (point)
  "Destruct POINT to line / col."
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char point)
    (beginning-of-line)
    `((assoc . nil) (line . ,(line-number-at-pos nil)) (col . ,(- point 
(point))))))

We will ship this fix in the next version.
