If Target.Cells(1).Address

That (1) portion said to look at only the first cell in the merged area.

Without it, target.cells.address included the address of the whole merged
area:

$M$2 vs. $M$2:$N$2

Your solution works a treat, though I don't see why.

Many thanks to you and others who added their input.

The tricky part seems to be that when you make an entry the Target is
M2
but
when you Clear the merged cell the Target is M2:N2, so:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Cells(1).Address = "$M$2" Then
If IsEmpty(Range("M2")) Then
ComboBox1.Enabled = False
Else
ComboBox1.Enabled = True
End If
End If
End Sub
