If I run git rebase --interactive with --preserve-merges option and
select "squash" for one of the commit, the rebase process fails with
the message "Refusing to squash a merge:
5e775c536654640c173ba71a0af7e84bf8bc618a". However the neither commit
participating in the squash is a merge commit. Even more, there are no
merge commits in the repository at all.
>From my limited understanding of squash operation, it should fail only
if one of squashed commits is a merge commit, but it should be
possible to squash non-merge commits without problem as it looks like
quite safe and local operation (and I might want to preserve merges
that happened after squashed commits). Is it the current behaviour a
bug or a feature?

But without a reproduction recipe (preferably as a patch against our
testsuite), I cannot tell.

Here is a reproduction recipe:
Goto to some empty directory and do the following commands on (cygwin,
git 1.6.0.4):
git init
echo data1 > f.txt
git add f.txt
git commit -m second
echo data2 >> f.txt
git add f.txt
git commit -m second
echo data3 >> f.txt
git add f.txt
git commit -m third
echo '#!/usr/bin/sh' >myed.sh
echo "echo -e '2\ns/pick/s/\np\nw\nq' | ed \$1" >>myed.sh
chmod a+x myed.sh
export GIT_EDITOR=`pwd`/myed.sh
git rebase -p -i master~2
The git rebase will exit with error writing something like the
following on stderr:
Refusing to squash a merge: 3b9e0d80da20e3543225679906be1cc5cf1a9f44
