Items do merge on identification, but the client isn't notified.

Try this:

Pick up a bunch of unidentified arrows.  Get rid of all but one stack, so
you know they're all the same.  Drop one arrow.  Move to another square.
Apply the bowyer skill to identify the one in your inventory.  Move over
and pick up the other arrow.  Identify it with your bowyer skill.  You'll
see no change in your inventory, but if you do a dropall, you'll see that
they did merge, as one is left in your inventory.

I guess that makes it a server issue.
