By default, org-refile and org-capture store bookmarks to the last
refiled/captured Org headline.  (There is org-capture-bookmark in
case users want to deactivate this for captured headlines.)

We could skip this step in Org in case the bookmark format is
corrupted, or have a more informative message that makes clear to 
the user that Org tries to store a bookmark.

What do you think?
