Every so often I run into a situation where bulk refiling doesn't work
anymore.

I currently have 15 items in my refile.org file that I want to refile to
other locations.  I marked a few of them and bulk refiled them just
fine.  Then I marked a few more and B r fails with "Cannot find entry
for marker #<marker at 297156 in norang.org>"

I think this happens when I mark multiple tasks in the same subtree
(i.e. the parent and a sibling) and refile both to the same location.
After that it gets confused.

If I have a task like this in refile.org

#+FILETAGS: REFILE
* Test
** Test 2

and run a tags match on REFILE I see both tasks.  Mark both with m in
the agenda and B r to some other location.  It refiles the first (and
this moves the sibling too) and then it's broken after that.

I get the following backtrace

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Cannot find entry for marker #<marker at 297156 in norang.org>")
  signal(error ("Cannot find entry for marker #<marker at 297156 in norang.org>"))
  error("Cannot find entry for marker %s" #<marker at 297156 in norang.org>)
  (or (text-property-any (point-min) (point-max) (quote org-hd-marker) e) (error "Cannot find entry for marker %s" e))
  (goto-char (or (text-property-any ... ... ... e) (error "Cannot find entry for marker %s" e)))
  (while (setq e (pop entries)) (goto-char (or ... ...)) (eval cmd) (setq org-agenda-bulk-marked-entries (delete e org-agenda-bulk-marked-entries)) (setq cnt (1+ cnt)))
  (let* ((action ...) (entries ...) cmd rfloc state e tag (cnt 0)) (cond (... ...) (... ...) (... ... ... ...) (... ... ...) (... ... ...) (... ...) (t ...)) (while (setq e ...) (goto-char ...) (eval cmd) (setq org-agenda-bulk-marked-entries ...) (setq cnt ...)) (setq org-agenda-bulk-marked-entries nil) (org-agenda-bulk-remove-all-marks) (message "Acted on %d entries" cnt))
  org-agenda-bulk-action()
  call-interactively(org-agenda-bulk-action)

I've since changed my refile custom view to only show level 1 tasks to
avoid this problem.
