No, merging the fill rule buttons is a mistake. It makes the interface more confusing instead of less.

When the 2 fill rule buttons got my attention, I looked at the icons and had no clue what they would be about. I read both tooltips and only then could make a guess what it was about in practical terms: to fill or not fill an area where the path overlaps it selfs.

(This is after years of experience, including using Freehand, Illustrator, Corel Draw.)

Formulated this way, it's a clear candidate for a single option. Especially as I bet it's touched seldom, probably never by a number of users.
