I suspect user error in this case.

This suggests that the conflict markers were checked into the
repository, and as such did not really create conflicts on your local
directory. Check out the pre-merged revision of the file into a fresh
directory. For example, if the update command brought your file to rev
1.23, and committing it brought it to 1.24, check out rev 1.23. If the
file contains the merge markers, then it was user error on the part of
the person who checked in rev 1.23 (or whichever rev. in which the
markers first appeared).
