I don't know the details of what happens currently when the bookmark file is
corrupted but at least such an occurrence shouldn't prevent org-refile
from working (tho obviously in a degraded way).
IOW, if needed we could wrap the calls to bookmark-set in
with-demoted-errors, but maybe those errors are signaled late enough
already that while the command signals an error, it did do what it was
expected to do.
