Yes, I believe so. Both buttons do a mysql call as
seen on approx line 219 and approx line 236 of
mythtv.c

On the get a protocol message is sent to receive the
bookmark, but the offset is into the file for that
bookmark is received via sql. The reverse is done on
the set.

There should be an OSD message for both of them upon
success. There is no OSD message on error. Look to
the log file to see if there errors. You could search
for "bookmark" in the log output. Debug is not
needed.
Jump to Bookmark error message:
"No offset found in recordedseek chanid=%ld
mark=%qd\n"
Set bookmark error message:
"Bookmark not set\n"
