Hi, Bart I took markers up to a certain point last summer. I didn't have the property re-parenting happening yet, but in terms of retrieving the right marker probably about half the retrieve-position/retrieve-boundary combos were already functional. The example file glossary.xml stems from that period.
We had an injection of code just about that time that was generally held to be higher priority, including by me, and this broke the partial marker support. I don't think anything has happened since, and so you are probably seeing the effects of this, not doing anything wrong in your FO. I am loathe to invest any effort in marker support in the maintenance branch, unless Karen and/or Keiron were to indicate that they do not expect functional markers in the rewrite for at least another 3 months (by which I mean I'd be happy to actually write that code if they indicate that I could reasonably expect to be doing so within 3 months). If it looks like there won't be any markers in the rewrite for quite a while then I'd be happy to look at getting them back into the maintenance branch because it wouldn't be wasted effort.
