No, I haven't looked into the differences yet.  But I think I've come up
with a quite good solution for the general problem right now.  The patch
below allows bookmark handlers to return a function that accepts the
window showing the buffer and then may act on it.  When the
display-function has been run, that function is called and in the
doc-view case sets the page for that window.

Until now, return values of handlers where simply ignored.  It shouldn't
break existing handlers, except if there's some handler that does
something like

  (setq dunno (lambda (...) ...))

or

  (add-hook 'dunno-hook (lambda (...) ...))

as last expression which seems unlikely.  I've grepped the emacs source
code and at least all handlers in there (man, woman, image-mode, gnus,
help, Info) don't do so.

I've tested it with bookmarks to docs that had to be converted anew and
bookmarks to docs that were already cached, and it seems to DTRT in all
cases.
