That's normal. In case of conflicts, you're supposed to see your and the 
other guy's changes, integrate them, and save the results. If you get a 
blank page and save that, PmWiki assumes that the "integration result" 
is a blank page and will save it. (No serious harm done though, you can 
always revive it from page history.)

Yes, I've seen that from day one of my usage. At that time, I took it to 
be some installation issue and didn't bother to fix or report it until I 
got around to further investigation, which kind of never happened until 
today.
Besides, it hasn't been a problem for me yet: Of my three wikis, one is 
single-author and will remain so, the other hasn't left the initial 
single-author phase yet, and the third is extremely low-traffic so 
conflicts are too unlikely to have happened yet.

Just to keep interested parties informed - too much going on for me 
right now to do anything about the issue. (Something *should* be done.)
