You committed the cardinal sin of passing one RevWalk's RevCommit to a
different RevWalk instance. This lead the merge base code to have two
representations of the same commit, which meant the flags weren't set
correctly and there was never a merge base found.

I've posted a fixed test to https://gist.github.com/850385
