I recently found that the throttle had to be closed then cracked (mixture rich) before trying a re-start in the air. I have done this about three times. I also suggested it to someone on ATAG a few days ago and it worked for him.

GUYS if you feel the Merlin cutout is too sensitive you need to go and vote for the devs to review it. The vote is in danger of turning into a 'reds versus blues' for all the wrong reasons instead of a request for the devs to check it.
