Maybe you just double clicked the "send" button 
Maybe you touched "send" button when you were trying to refresh the page after sending 1 sMerit that's why it doubled the sMerit sent.
There are already some Member here who experienced the same issue when sending a Merit. They said that maybe it's a bug or something, but the truth is they just clicked the send button twice. When you clicked send button and the page starts to load, although the page's loading didn't completed (due to slow internet) or it happens that you cancelled the page's loading after a minute, the amount of sMerit you entered in the textbox will still be sent.
I see. I've never heard of that bug until now, thanks for informing.

So I recently merited this post . With 1 merit (or so I thought 
)
Since I was on mobile for that time, and chrome has a feature where if you pull down on the screen while on a webpage, the webpage will refresh. When I accidentally did this, my page refreshed and the poster received 2 merits, not 1.
Is there a possible fix for this? Is it a forum wide problem or just my phone?

- I somewhat understand your issue.Merits are not updated real-time and you need to refresh the page multiple times to see the final updated values.You could have sent him two merits,not at the same time but one after the other and hence the glitch.You could see the first one but saw the updated one as the page was refreshed.)Since I was on mobile for that time, and chrome has a feature where if you pull down on the screen while on a webpage, the webpage will refresh.

- I believe sending two merits was the case.Or are you very sure you never sent two merits ?
EDIT : I was correct.You did send two merits one after the another.There is no glitch,lock the thread.
Is the case same here ? Maybe I'm missing on the 'reported many' part,mind linking me to one of those threads where this glitch is actively being discussed ?
It was mainly discussed in the main Merit thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/merit-new-rank-requirements-2818350
But that's 205 pages long now!
Also discussed in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/loycevs-merit-data-analysis-full-data-since-jan-24-2018-not-just-120-days-3078328 and https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/i-double-sent-a-merit-3121567
There may be more but those I can remember off the top of my head.
I thought the OP sent one merit after the other and just couldn't see it due to page refreshing stuff.Anyway,I don't know if this has been discussed before but I found something interesting while fiddling with the merit input box. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.34351320
That all looks a bit weird.
