Both are no bugs. The measure number printed is always the number of the NEXT 
following measure. The reason is that you can then easily replace the " % " by 
"\barNumberCheck #".
And measure number 5 is not repeated for different measures. Rather, it is 
simply printed twice, once before the \mark and once after the mark, which is, 
however, at the same barline, so no discrepancy appears.

The problem is that the mxl file uses a simple text markup before a barline, 
while in LilyPond such text markups can only be attached to notes and the 
like. Thus, we have to wait for the next note to attach the markup.
