One theory is that perhaps `topic_users.bookmarked` is getting out of sync somehow. If you have a problematic topic identifed, can you try to query the `topic_users` table for that user/topic combo you find, and see if `bookmarked` is true or false?

Also, I’m curious whether [the new experimental `/filter` feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/experimental-topics-list-filter-feature/263641) shows the “missing” topics with `in:bookmarked`, e.g. [Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/filter?q=in%3Abookmarked). Can you try that too and let us know?
