I don't like that when driving a slower vehicle (e.g. a minibus)
because it means you are forever moving back and forth.

Only if you stick to the extra lane.

Which, if it is marked as a normal lane and not a sliproad, you are
supposed to do. The designation you suggest, or just marking it as a
sliproad throughout, would of course solve this.

Even with a decent length to do it, merging can be a problem.

Oh, indeed. It's just much more difficult if you're still thinking
about acceleration by the time you should be braking slightly to match
speed and slot in because the sliproad is *far* too short.
