1) As long as files with markers can be easily shared between people it is good.
Why isn't "bloated diff" a problem for storing the markers in the project files? Would it make sense to have an option to not store the markers? 2) The second scenario of marking a specific error is the least surprising. How frequently will there be multiple errors of a certain type between the two same objects? That is a risky scenario, but it is hard to asses without knowing the chance.
