It doesn't answer any WHY questions, but at least it gets all your data back on one track.
I hope that helps.
I'd not mess with the MIDI Merge button but copy all the notes in one track, highlight the other track, and select Merge from the Edit menu instead. Works for me.

The 'why' part I believe goes back to exporting MIDI from Sonar. It's always been a headache to get files exported correctly. What I used to do when I ran Sonar 8.3.1 would be to strip down the session to just MIDI (no instrument tracks, aux's, whatever; just MIDI tracks) and save the session as a MIDI type 1 file. Sonar can do both type 0 and type 1. That way I'd have a MIDI file with each instrument on it's own MIDI track.
