And what about when the "server" is a repo in which I happened to fire up `hg serve` to share some changes with a coworker? In that case I can't imagine they'd want all my random little markers littering their repo.

I agree that the rationale makes perfect sense for the topic-branch workflow. But anyone who's been using bookmarks not expecting them to be shared unless they're explicitly pulled or pushed will need to readjust their workflow.
