Yes. I wasn't disagreeing with your choice to implement the same logic first, just explaining why we didn't get more aggressive in automerge.

one possibility is to use a custom column, which stores a duplicate group number against all the potential candidates as a result of running the duplicate find.

That sounds like a good approach. If duplicate group numbers are assigned in sequence, you can highlight odd/even duplicate number groups using the highlighting tools. Then the user would easily see the members of each group when sorted by that column.
