Strange, "mergecap -w output.pcap *.pcap" should work, but I just tested it myself in a DOS command prompt and it doesn't.  Could you file a bug report for this issue at https://bugs.wireshark.org?

You might consider running Cygwin (www.cygwin.com) on your WIndows box, I don't have problems with this command in a Cygwin (bash) shell window.
