I don't know why Word has added an unrequested mergeformat switch. Inserting a cross reference (or REF field) here does not add the switch.
It is supposed to (in the case of the REF field) insert the cross reference with the same format as the item referenced. Frankly I am not convinced the switch does anything useful as the results are apparently the same with or without it.
If you want the reference to be formatted as the surrounding text, use a CHARFORMAT switch.
