I did the test again and it worked as you've described it, unless the conflicting editings are done under the same username. I don't know if this is a bug or feature, but shouldn't be a real problem.
As I understand it, an edit conflict with yourself currently produces "undefined" behaviour.
The edit conflict screen is disabled when the previous edit was by the current user so that you can make an edit, hit "back", make a correction, and save again directly.
However I'm not sure if this performs correctly with 'complex' stuff like section editing.
This is probably the cause of http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/275 and possibly also http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/317
The mystery continues!
