Good to se that your update finally worked.

I have encountered the same problem when I mereged dataset together with results saved in other datasets. I guess it would be a valid error message if observations were droped or added but that was not the case for me. I finally got it to work by doing the following before merging another dataset.
. estsave , from(recently_merged_result)
. drop recently_merged_result
. estsave , gen(recently_merged_result)
As for your other problem, you might want to try a Nick Cox program that have great potential -makematrix- (haven't used it for some time though). This program creates and displays a matrix with reults of your choice from several runs. I don't have access to Stata right now so I cant give you more details.
. ssc install makematrix
