My guess is that people think they merge due to losing a minefield inside another.
Consider the 2 small minefields laid next to each other (18ly) as described above. After a couple of years you return to the centre of both to lay again.
First minelayer lays mines (makes field bigger), second minelayer is now in 2 fields, it lays and makes the first field even bigger.
A few turns later you are checking your minefields and hey - there is one big one where there should have been 2 (the second smaller one is by now tiny or non existant), so you assume they merged.
It is easy to lay overlapping fields, the problems start when the place you lay is in more than one field as you lose control over which field the mines are added to.
