bug#49645: 28.0.50; Bookmark line highlighting remain stuck

[Marius Kjeldahl]

I rebuilt emacs from head (brew reinstall emacs-head@28 --with-cocoa
--with-native-comp) and it still does seem to work.

If I set four bookmarks and then delete all bookmarks, only the last
one set will actually be cleaned up visually. Even though there are no
active bookmarks any longer, the three first will still have
highlighted lines.

Thanks,

Marius K.
