That doesn't work. For example if you have a partial stack of cloud berries on your corpse and you picked a few on the way to your corpse and you grab your corpse the cloud berry stacks don't auto merge. You wind up with 2 partial stacks of cloud berries in your inventory. This applies to any duplicate items when you pick up your marker.

That's a separate issue to prioritising loot over gear. No container auto merges stacks properly, gravestone is just a container - I consider this to be a bug, and one wider than just gravestones. Prioritising gear over loot is a game change, a suggestion - one I don't like, as it implies rearranging slots for you. I prefer it as is - I can prioritise ahead of time what corpse slots to pick up, and everything stays where it should.

That also doesn't work if you're overy 300 units of weight, which is pretty much all the time for me.

If your emergency armour is masking your heavy loot you won't go overweight from just picking up gear, and you'll have time to equip mejinglord(sp?) along with the rest of your gear. Loot can then be recovered at leisure after dealing with the emergency.
