Fix committed to Github repo: https://github.com/squizlabs/PHP_CodeSniffer/commit/20be9de6417630c14f469197 785024fe785851fd Wasn't actually a problem with array_merge or how brackets are placed. Was a problem with having the function directly after the PHP open tag. When the sniff was looking to see how it should be indented, it ended up taking the pointer negative and then failing on the IF statement. Just added a sanity check and a unit test to expose it. If you've seen a problem with array_merge in code when it is not directly after the open tag, please let me know as I haven't been able to replicate one.
