For me, that's exactly what they do, by default, both with Adobe
Reader-9, and with Evince-2.32.0/poppler/cairo-0.14.3

I do seem to recall seeing similar behaviour with an older version of
Evince, or maybe with kpdf, (in the Ubuntu-8.04 era); Adobe Reader has
never, IME, exhibited such behaviour.

You don't say, but I'm guessing that you're using the sample -mspdf,
which accompanies the pdfroff/pdfmark distribution? That looks okay to
me; certainly not significantly different from my own usage.

I see this too, with Evince; Adobe Reader offers no such feedback.

It should do this, automatically; the pdfmark *always* records both page
number and on-page co-ordinates for link destinations, but it can exert
no control over how your PDF reader will interpret this data.

Yes. I suspect your problem is with your PDF reader; perhaps you need
to upgrade to a newer version, or switch to Adobe Reader, (which, IME,
has always done the right thing).
