This was previously reported by "ch <cr@onlinehome.de>"[1] and fixed
in commit a9279c678588 ("sequencer: do not squash 'reword' commits
when we hit conflicts", 2018-06-19).  This commit is part of current
master, but has not yet made it into a release. So, sadly, we don't
have a version you can update to to get the fix, unless you want to
build from source and either cherry-pick the change (it applles
cleanly to 2.18.0) or build a current version of master.  However, it
should be part of 2.19 when that comes out.

Thanks for reporting, and sorry we don't have an immediate solution
for you.  It's coming, though.
