It is unconventional to have a numeric sticky tag ...

... and no symbolic tags.  Anyway,

Are you sure that's what you did ?  When I try something similar, I get
    $ cvs commit -r1.4.1 toto.c
    cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for `toto.c'
    cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!

It seems that you started with revision 1.4, not 1.1 as you said.
Either that, or the revision 1.4.1.3 in your status output is wrong.
It looks like you cut'n pasted the output of cvs status, so I'll assume
that 1.4.1.3 is correct and that your initial 1.1 was really 1.4 .

That part works.

To finish off and make revision 1.5, commit one last time to the branch,
return to the trunk and merge your branch.

    cvs commit                  # creates rev 1.4.1.4
    cvs update -A one.txt       # returns to rev 1.4 and removes the changes
    cvs update -j 1.4.1 one.txt # pulls in the changes
    cvs status -v one.txt

The status should look something like this:

    File: one.txt           Status: Locally Modified

       Working revision:    1.4     Result of merge
       Repository revision: 1.4     /home/cvsuser/cvsroot/work/base/one.txt,v
       Sticky Tag:          (none)
       Sticky Date:         (none)
       Sticky Options:      (none)

       Existing Tags:
            No Tags Exist

The file contents will be that of revision 1.4.1.4, as if you had
checked out a fresh copy of 1.4 and manually edited 1.4.1.4 into it.
Hence the status of "Locally Modified".  Just commit the result.

    cvs commit                  # creates rev 1.5 .
