Error merging MXIs

Hi there,
I' trying to merge 2 mxis, one from rebus renderfarm and the other rendered on my machine during the night. They are both from the same MXS and have exactly the same settings and I'm getting this error when I try to merge them.

Shouldn't it merge ok? Does it have to do with the fact that the one from rebus was made on network and mine on a single machine?!?

Thanks

It seems that 3ds max plug-in rounds some values wrong, so maxwell 3.0.1 or 3.0 can generate un-mergeable MXIs if the user does something like this:

Render a 3ds max scene with maxwell (using the 3ds plug-in for maxwell render)
Use the MXS generated with 3ds max to render other MXI with maxwell in GUI mode.
Trying to merge both MXIs could fail.

It's all about decimal rounding differences. Fixed for 3.1
