Hm, it works without crash for me here. Could you add a sample dataset and a description which features you select exactly for merging?
From the backtrace, it seems there is an error writing to the dbf file. So I wonder if there is a problem related to the dbf file, e.g. file permission. Please also report your GDAL version.

It was a dbf file problem since it wasn't existing. QGIS is able to load a shapefile w/o dbf file and it is possible to move vertex points etc. But QGIS crashes after trying to save the edits.

- Resolution set to fixed
- Status changed from Open to Closed
fixed in dc92ab0f (SVN r11825): shapes files without DBFs lack the capability ChangeAttributeValues, so the merge tool shouldn't work on them.
