So what should I do in order to resolve this problem?

You can try merging with the option to convert to utf8 turned off, since its already in utf8. Sadly this has been a problem with the merge system for awhile, and its something I have 0 experience with. We could honestly use an encoding expert to help out with this particular issue.

I am receiving this same error but in a different circumstance; I get it for usernames with specialcharacters, although the characters themselves don't seem to be translating correctly.
For example, while running the Users part of the merge I get the following error:
1062 - Duplicate entry 'Fländer' for key 2
When I used the e-mail address to look up the user on the phpbb board, I find that his username there is 'Fländer'.
Doing a select on 'Fländer' in the phpbb MySQL, there is only one of him. There are none of that name in the myBB database, but there is already a 'Fländer'.
At the moment I have just been deleting the first version of 'Fländer' and resuming the user merge, and except for the fact that the username is 'Fländer' this seems to be working. But I have an awful lot of users with special characters in their names.
I suspect this may also be related to the UTF-8 issue mentioned here: http://community.mybb.com/thread-87205.html
I am also facing exactly same problem while merging vb 3.8.4 databse.
Isnt there an option to NOT import users while merging or import only a range of users, lets say 1000 instead of all?
