There are two separate issues here: 1. The warning about collisions is just that - a warning. If it doesn't worry you, then you can simply suppress it with -sw1055 on the light commandline. The warning is intended to alert you that two different merge modules are colliding (which should never happen - shame on VS), and that it may be possible that an action required for one module will have been overwritten by the other one (usually a big problem but probably not for the VS modules).
2. I believe the ArgumentException issue you hit was very recently fixed - what version of light are you running? (Please send the version reported by light /?) You might try grabbing the latest weekly build - it should have the fix.
