You can manually strip them if you activate the mq extension:

hg book my-bookmark
# hack, hack, hack
hg commit 
# message 'created new branch' appears, so we need to
# tag it
hg tag my-bookmark-base
# hack
hg commit
# realise the whole thing was a mistake
hg book -d my-bookmark
hg strip my-bookmark-base

Although I agree it would be nice if bookmark could automate this;
stripping the bookmark revision should only be done upon explicit request
(like book -d --also-strip ), of course
