Which plugins are you talking about? The only one I can immediately think of is FanFicFare, and it should be handling the annotations and reading position. If it isn't, then it has been broken in a recent version and should be reported.

For other plugins, don't beg, ask politely. Most of us plugin developers are willing to listen to suggestions. Whether we implement them, will depend on whether they can be implemented, whether they fit the plugin and time. For this, it's probably not hard to save the file with the bookmarks in them and then restore it later. But, if the structure of the epub changes, keeping the references in the bookmarks valid will be the problem.
