I think I do, see below.

I looked at the implementation, it uses the line number as the
reference from the bookmark list to the text, so if the text changes
lines then the bookmark points to the wrong place, and then when you
try to delete it no bookmark is found for that line so it doesn't
delete.

It needs to be re-written to use Scintilla marker handles instead of
line numbers since they track changes to the file.  But somebody has
to do it, patches are welcome (tm).
