It was a combination of mbox munging and git-am, I checked with git log
and thought things were ok, but I wasn't aware that it stripped out empty
lines. cat-file shows that it was just the 2 patches from Andrew that had
this particular problem. I had stripped out the subject and thought the
first line would be used for the merge summary, but it looks like git-am
simply wrote out an empty line and inserted one after that before the
rest of the summary.

I've pushed out updated patches that have this corrected, so please pull
again.
