Thanks, should be fixed now on the emacs-28 branch.

(The lesson to take home today is that the recipe should always be
described 110% precisely, especially when the initial attempt at
reproduction fails.  The bug only happened when the bookmark position
was NOT at beginning of line, and until the above accurate description
that was never actually said nor even hinted.  Needless to say, I
always put the bookmarks at BOL, since it's so easy.  So I never saw
the bug.)
