Sorry, I have not been following this thread - excuse me if I misunderstand. But AFAIK an empty bookmark file should not present any problems for Emacs (for bookmark handling, at least, and I would hope for Org mode and anything else too). Is that really what the problem was - an empty bookmark file was interpreted (by something) as a corrupt bookmark file? If so, that in itself sounds like a bug, to me. I use Bookmark+, but I would guess that vanilla bookmark.el too handles the existence of an empty bookmark file with no problem. If not, that would be the first thing to fix, I would think. (Again, ignore if I've misunderstood.)
