Sure. I too am unable to replicate in 26.3, but see in 26.1. Here's the
recipe:

1. emacs -Q -nw RET # Start emacs
2. C-x C-f ~/.bashrc RET # Load file 1
3. C-x C-f ~/.profile RET # Load file 2.
4. C-x r m a RET # Set bookmark a
5. C-n # Move to next line
6. C-x b RET # Switch to file 1
7. C-x r b a RET # Jump to bookmark a

Doing this in 26.1 jumps to the correct file, .profile, but the current
line is unchanged from that moved to in step 5.
