System Information
Linux Ubuntu & GeForce GTX 580

Blender Version
Broken: master

Short description of error
With "AutoMerge Keyframes" toggled on it simply doesn't do that, whether you're scaling keyframes or moving them around.

auto_merge.blend

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Make an armature, go to pose mode and set keyframes on the bone. Scroll forward a few frames, move the bone around (and rotate) and key it again. Do this a couple of time so you have some keys to work with.

If you select all the keys in the dopesheet editor and scale them down so some of them land on the same frame, blender doesn't automerge them. The keys seem to still exist on the same frame, as you can see in the graph editor. Even if you select all the keys and move them by one frame (which should trigger the automerge) it still doesn't merge the keyframes.

Currently logic in that function explicitly limits deletion to un-selected keyframes only, see [1].

This makes sense when doing translation, but when scaling something to singularity it does no longer work.

So shall we remove keyframes from selection as well when scaling down? In this case in which order to do this and which one to leave and which one to delete?

@JoshuaLeung, any ideas here?
