bug#44185: 26.1; bookmark-jump failing to jump to correct location

[bobf32]

Sure. I too am unable to replicate in 26.3, but see in 26.1. Here's the recipe:

1. emacs -Q -nw RET # Start emacs

2. C-x C-f ~/.bashrc RET # Load file 1

3. C-x C-f ~/.profile RET # Load file 2. 

4. C-x r m a RET # Set bookmark a

5. C-n # Move to next line

6. C-x b RET # Switch to file 1

7. C-x r b a RET # Jump to bookmark a

Doing this in 26.1 jumps to the correct file, .profile, but the current line is unchanged from that moved to in step 5.

I'm unable to reproduce this in Emacs 28 or Emacs 26.3.  Could you give
a more detailed recipe, starting from "emacs -Q"?  Here's what I did:

larsi@xo:~/src/emacs/trunk$ /usr/bin/emacs -Q lisp/abbrev.el lisp/autoarg.el
Went to the "This file is part" file and `C-x r m a RET', and `C-f' to
go to the next line.
`C-x o' to the other buffer.
`C-x r b a RET'.
I'm then popped to the abbrev.el buffer and with point on the correct
line.
