I added a comment and suggested workaround for the 'mythical bookmark' 
issue to ticket #11713, but have since realised that a closed ticket may 
not get much attention.

But I question the underlying concept.  I define a pre-roll only because 
the scheduled start times are often inaccurate, certainly with the 
keyframe-or-better resolution that I use when cutting.  So why try to 
re-impose them on playback?  It needs an opt-out.
