I cannot reproduce your claims:
- (1) and (2) picks B,C,D top A and F, but not E because E is a merge.
- (3) picks C and D, but not E because E is a merge.

(4) picks only D, because E is a merge. I don't understand what you mean that "D and E are lost"; E is not picked in the first place, but D is in the todo-list; how can D be lost?

BTW, rebase never picks merges by design. I don't see anything wrong so far with the current behavior. Please explain!
