I am also struggling to move bookmarks. When I create a new bookmark that I need to move to the top of the list, the red triangle refuses to appear at the top. I have tried moving it next to the top, then moving the top one down, but even this does not always work.

Any suggestions?

The grab handles are gone. You can select the text, command-click to get a contextual menu, and choose "Create Artifact". Close the dialog, select the Touch-Up Object tool, click on the text, and -- sometimes -- you can move it. If it isn't covered up by another object. Rather than go through that crap, just erase the offending text and re-type it with the Text Touch-Up tool. Then you'll have an object you can move around with the object touch-up tool. This is a PITA compared to the old way, but Acrobat, after all, isn't an authoring tool.
Good luck.
