Steps to reproduce:
If you create a bookmark (Cmd+D) and edit the URL before saving

Expected behavior:
Bookmark's URL is the edited version. However, the edits are lost.

As I show in this short video, this is very noticeable when trying to make "custom search engines" by defining bookmarks with a "%s" and an "invocation character or keyword": you edit the URL to replace the search term with "%s", but the URL keeps the original search term, so the custom search appears not to work.

Workaround: after saving the bookmark, enter the edit Bookmarks dialog (option+Cmd+B), right-click the bookmark, select Edit, and edit the URL again. This time it will save.
