Is this correct?  

I believe that a file can be commited with conflict markers if the file has
been touched since the time stamp in the CVS/Entries for the merge with
conflicts.

http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_10.html#SEC86 last paragraph reads:

For your protection, CVS will refuse to check in a file if a conflict
occurred and you have not resolved the conflict. Currently to resolve a
conflict, you must change the timestamp on the file. In previous versions of
CVS, you also needed to insure that the file contains no conflict markers.
Because your file may legitimately contain conflict markers (that is,
occurrences of `>>>>>>> ' at the start of a line that don't mark a
conflict), the current version of CVS will print a warning and proceed to
check in the file.
