I didn't dig deep enough to find out. But it's clear that such a
marker is useless at best.

Registering a hook is easy, the problem is doing everything that's
needed in the hook. Especially given that clone-buffer is not
documented, and therefore all these caveats are nowhere to be learned.

I don't know. But markers are quite common, so I'd be surprised if
they didn't.
