I strongly agree. Though I've been warned about this issue I also run into it
by scrolling through the contacts which the device unfortunately interpreted as
selecting. After that I had two contacts where I didn't know how to separate
phone and Skype information without loosing my Skype contact on the server.
Fortunately hex's posting guided me into the right direction:

I duplicated the contact in PC Suite's contact manager (fortunately it doesn't
copy Skype information so we get a 'clean' copy). Then on N900 I opened the
contact which contained the Skype field, removed any other field, renamed the
contact so it matched the Skype user and then merged it again with the correct
phone contact - *phew!*

As hex mentioned the tricky part for the user is not only to undo the merge but
first to *find* the accidentally merged contact. To me the unwanted merges
happened during fast scrolling and I had to look into dozens of contacts before
finding the wrong Skype fields. Please take this 'side-issue' also into account
for any solution of this bug.
