The Infinity Gauntlet of New Xandar only worked on New Xandar, while the Doomstadt one only worked on Doomstadt. Maybe the merge happened in Battleworld rather than before it?

What merge are you referring to? The (sub-)domains of Kingdom of Manhattan. If Battleworld was working as if every domain was still its own universe inside the Battlerealm, then maybe when the Marvel and Ultimate portions of the Kingdom of Manhattan merged together, it was not only domain merge but reality merge.

Like I said above, the physical merge of domains didn't do anything to disrupt the space-time continuum in Battleworld. Did it affect the rest of the inhabitants of Battleworld? Absolutely not. On this wiki (YES, THE MARVEL WIKIA), universes are determined due to a major decision on the part of a character. Some can seem to be taking place in the past or future due to differences in how time passes in each universe. Often, new universes and dimensions are born due to time traveling, and another name for these new universes is an "alternate timeline".
