Well I did some trials. Where repeated killing yielded better drops then first time killing.
While playing my Paladin I would kill Mephisto, Diablo, and Baal. Each time I would not kill them, but let my merc have the final blow.
When I killed each one for the first time I got very nice drops. Then I went again to Mephisto to kill him a 2nd time. Got absolute crap. Went on to Act4.
Now that I got my character up into the 50's killing anything in normal on players 8 was no longer a big problem.
So after doing some repeated runs, and letting my merc get the final blow on these Act bosses. I got good drops.
A set and a Unique from Mephisto, rares and a set from Diablo, all rares from Baal. All i killed many times and all yielded good drops. Seeing as how it was only Normal.
As per 1.10 killing act bosses for the first time yields uber drops. As was evident. 6 rares from Andariel, and 3 sets from Mephisto are nice drops indeed. But it was mentioned that killing them over and over results in poor drops. This I think doesn't apply to Mercs. Players yes, but Mercs no.
I ask that no one report it yet to the general public (ie diabloii.net and the Bnet forums) or to Blizzard as a bug. As far as I see it, what they don't know can't hurt or benefit them. And its a feature not a bug.
