Perhaps the key difference between your environment and mine is that I
have makeinfo version 5.2, which produces the special (non-ascii)
quotation chars ‘ and ’, and you may have an older version which
produces ` and ' instead.

Can you reproduce the problem with the following recipe?

emacs -Q
(set-language-environment 'latin-1)
Visit the attached file.
C-u 9 C-n
C-x r m RET
M-x bookmark-save RET
