IMHO it's a VFS bug, a reset() call should restore the stream to the
state it was when mark() was called (assuming the limit wasn't
exceeded, etc.). Otherwise there is no way for a client to really rely
on the reset() method.

Yep. BufferedInputStream does restore the stream state correctly on reset().

Perhaps Tika should be more defensive and simply always wrap the
stream into a BufferedInputStream regardless of whether the original
stream claims to support the mark feature. This way we'd avoid the
trouble you encountered.
