Wait, there's a pretty odd piece of advice in there: "do not include
merge lanes"? I would clearly count them towards the lanes value, and
have used this interpretation as the basis of my mapping and coding so
far (nothing important, but others may work from the same assumption).

There are several places in the wiki supporting my interpretation.
Perhaps most obviously, this example on Key:turn:
http://wiki.osm.org/Key:turn#Motorway_with_links_and_destinations

(Btw, it would be helpful to add turn:lanes while you're at it. ;) )

I would normally not bring this topic up here, but I think it'd better
be clarified before tagging thousands of lane counts.
