I think it is caused by a bug in the cpstrnew compiler (unrelated to any merging). That code passes an array of widechar to a routine expecting an ansistring (tstringlist.add), and the error is
  chmreader.pas(1235,25) Error: Incompatible type for arg no. 2: Got "Boolean", expected "Word"

That suggests the error is in a call to an internal RTL conversion routine generated by the compiler (since tstringlist.add only has one parameter and it's not a word) to convert the array of widechar to ansistring.

Yes.
