I see what you describe occasionally, but, I'm pretty sure only for sideloaded books. That might just be because I read a lot more sideloaded books than purchased and make more annotations and bookmarks in the sideloaded book.

What I think is happening is related to how the position for bookmarks are stored. Basically, it stores the position in the book of the first character on the page. A couple of examples of this are:

Code:
OEBPS/Chapter05.htm#point(/1/4/302/1:115)
OEBPS/Chapter05.htm#point(/1/4/320/1:0)
The "point" is a walk through the tags. The "302" is a count of the tags within the body tag. But, it is counting the opening and closing tags at the same level. That means it is the 151st tag. The "115" is the 115th character within that tag. The second one is the next page and it just happens that the page starts with a paragraph so the character is zero

I think what is happening is that the calculation for when to display the dog-ear has a bug in it. Sometimes it doesn't get the calculation right. In my case, both of the above are displayed when I reopen the book. But, if I increase the font size, the first one disappears and the second one is still there. Return to my original size, and both are there. If I increase the margin by one step, both disappear.

As I said, I've seen this over the years, but it hasn't bugged me to much as I don't use the dog-eared bookmarks much. When I do, it's to be able to return somewhere using the annotations list, so the lack of a display doesn't worry me. Other than suggesting you report the problem to Kobo so that they know about it and that it concerns someone, I don't have a suggestion for handling this.
