Blender Version
Broken: 2.76 RC3
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
ARRAY MODIFIER
The First Last merging option does not work properly when there is a Start Cap or/and a End Cap object.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

This problem may occur for the option Fit Curve
This problem may occur with an Object Offset (i.e. an empty giving a rotation to the duplicated piece)

The problem occurs because the modifier is unable to merge First and Last objects when these ones areStart orEnd Caps.
This is normal because the first and/or last are replaced by other objects BUT:
1/ the Start or End Caps are well merged on 1 side.
2/ I tested all possibilities

   a/ No Cap object  = Merge fine.
   b/ One Cap object = fails to merge on 1 side.
   c/ Two Caps objects = fails to merge on 1 side.

Issue?
If there is Start or End Caps anddistance from the real first and last objects is good for merging, then merge objects sides.
