   Therefore I'd suggest to ignore the return value of switch-to-buffer  
   in bookmark's bookmark-jump function. This fixed the problem for me.

I believe that you should fix your problem locally by fixing your advise.

If you advise a function to return a value that is different from the
documented one, then of course you run the risk to run into problems.
That is a bug in your advise, not a bug in Emacs.
