That you can have name conflicts between the diredc and other bookmarks,
and that when selecting a diredc bookmark you'd have to see all those
other bookmarks which might make it more timeconsuming to find the
bookmark you're after.

For the first problem, I don't have a good solution.
For the second, I think this actually hints at a need for the generic
bookmark-selection functionality to offer a way to first select a *type*
of bookmark and only then pick a name among the remaining candidates.

[ And of course, in the absence of such generic support in bookmark.el,
  diredc could do it on its own by offer a command which pre-filters
  the list of bookmarks to only include those which refer to
  directories.  ]
