No, I think this is supposed to work -- at any rate, there is code in
nnir for handling this. I'll try to take a look later.

Actually there are two issues: do the marks propagate to the backend,
and when they do, does the nnir group update its display correctly? My
understanding had been that you were having the latter problem, but
perhaps it's all connected.
