Thanks, gpad, and all of you for verifying the existence of this issue.  I have reported the issue on (1) chromium issues (see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=126308), as well as (2) via "report an issue" on Chrome under Tools, under the wrench icon.  (3) I have also gone to the original place where the bookmarklet is offered (http://support.google.com/bookmarks/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=175117) and used the "Contacting Us" link at the bottom (http://support.google.com/bookmarks/bin/request.py?contact_type=feedback) that allows for submission of feedback on the bookmark tool.  

What I lack is the savvy to know how to escalate the issue or postings to a higher level so that it gets the attention.  For now, I am hoping that thanks to your responses and after the passage of this weekend, it will receive the required attention.  If more people could post on the three links I have posted above, then that might be one way to attract the attention. In any case, I am hoping for more action from Google on Monday.
