[gdal-dev] gdalwarp on a .vrt: Using internal nodata values (eg 0) for image (?)

I am experimenting with using 'gdalwarp' on a .vrt (first time), but I'm
not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've been running this:

>> gdalwarp -s_srs EPSG:4326 -t_srs EPSG:3857 -r bilinear -of VRT
merged.vrt srtm_merged_3857.vrt

and it processes fast (far far *too fast* for this global file) and returns

>> Creating output file that is 194835P X 479814L.
>> Processing input file merged.vrt
>> Using internal nodata values (eg. 0) for image merged.vrt

The return .vrt file definitely doesn't appear right...a quick look at the
returned file:

One notably huge difference is that there is a huge jump in pixel size
(from 0.000833333333323 to 205.686440189378940)...
