What that you were trying to make a cover that accurately depicted characters from a book? I'd buy that. But, the choice of character and I suspect dress, might be suspect.

I've done that a couple of times. When I got the first of the Barsoom books, I went looking for the most lurid cover I could find. It just suited my mood at the time

At least it was "Sense and Sensibility" and not "The Masqueraders". My wife is a Georgette Heyer fan.
That I understand. My wife read both Austen and Heyer. She has a tendency to pick one up, read a bit and put it down somewhere. Sometimes it feels like the house is covered in them. And I shudder to think what she has on her Touch.

I had quick play with the bookmarks. With the firmware I am running, the bookmarks were deleted from the database when I deleted the book using the GUI. But calibre isn't deleting them. Putting the book back on the device picked up the bookmarks. Powering off didn't affect this. Can you do a check on your database? A corrupt bookmark table might explain this.
