But it _is_ obeyed in other places in bookmark.el, including in
bookmark-bmenu--revert (and thus in its callers).  So it isn't like
this variable is not obeyed at all, it's just that there seem to be
some specific situations where it isn't.

And you didn't answer my second question (and neither did Manuel).
Knowing whether this is a recent regression or not is important for
the decision whether to fix it now or later.
