Here's a simpler patch which does also seem to fix the problem by simply
using find-file instead of bookmark's default handler without requiring
a timer.

Could you check if that also fixes the issue for you?

And a question concerning the procedure: since this is a fix for a bug
relative to emacs 23, should I commit it on the emacs-24 branch?
