Basically, the issue is that, when you use an INCLUDETEXT field this way, it inserts the final paragraph break from the source document. If the field is in its own paragraph, that means you'll get both that paragraph's break and the one from the inserted document. The simplest solution is to not have a paragraph break after the INCLUDETEXT field (i.e. add the field to the start of whatever paragraph follows it).
PS: You can probably do without the \* MERGEFORMAT switch, too.
