The mark-function needs an argument, see:
#(display mark)

This code: { \mark s4 \mark \default s4 } puts in s4 as the argument
for the first \mark.
Besides it's nonsense, you then have two simultaneous marks.

For this code: { \mark \default s4 \mark \default s4 } be aware that
SkipEvents do not create a NoteColumn.
Meaning both RehearsalMarks try to align themselves to the same item,
as given with the 'break-align-symbols'-property.

At least this is my understanding.

Thus I see no bug here.
