Yes, that's on purpose.

I think it makes sense, but I think it shouldn't be a global option.
Maybe it should be a setting saved with the bookmark (i.e. when saving
the bookmark you could specify not to save the location) or otherwise
specified when jumping.

Maybe a prefix command which causes the subsequent `bookmark-jump` to
ignore the location info (and it could also cause a subsequent
`bookmark-set` not to save the location)?
