In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.0.2195)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Bookmarking info files doesn't seem to work properly if they are compressed with bzip2. e.g.
C-h i
m ispell
m History
C-x r m
C-x r b History

Then in minibuffer:
Ispell nonexistant.  Relocate "History"? (y or n) 

This only seems to happen compressing with bzip2, gzip is fine.
In particular it occurs under Mandrake where all the info files are bzipped.

You can teach jka-compr about bzip2, I guess.  See the variable
jka-compr-compression-info-list.
