When I try and merge a xib with FileMerge, it works great up to the

It's not. A xib file is still an interconnected graph of objects,
not just a sequence of independent statements; any hypothetical
merge would have to take into account the transformation of the
object graph that's represented by the text.
Everything Chris said is true. Additionally, when you view a XIB file
in File Merge, by default you're not actually viewing the contents of
the XIB file, you're viewing the output of "ibtool --all file.xib".
Being the output of a tool, merging doesn't make sense.
