Yeah, if process_entry leaves unmerged entries, write_tree_from_memory will
return NULL. I can reproduce with the following script (same principle as
t7405).

Thank you for the unit test. It fails as expected but I didn't verify that
it failed with the segfault as I'm experiencing. Your explanation of "There
are unmerged index entries:" is interesting. I've taken that as the focal
point for working around the bug in my repo with the unfixed software.

I've also started getting acquainted with the code in merge_tree to see if I
can identify the problem. I do not understand the se_stage values of 0 vs 2
or 3. These are not defined as constants or documented in the code. I'm
viewing them as magic for now. :-/
