This description does not match the sequence of steps you outlined below,
but in any case...

It seems the lack of error message was recently introduced. At this point,
using 1.11.5, I got an error message:

jhyslop@ashiko:$ cvs import -b 1.1.201 -ko -m "pvcs import" tempmerge pvcs
pvcs
-1
C tempmerge/file.txt

1 conflicts created by this import.
Use the following command to help the merge:

        cvs checkout -j<prev_rel_tag> -jpvcs-1 tempmerge
