Well, I run the following

 hg init
 hg bookmark master     
 echo one > test1.txt    
 hg add test1.txt        
 hg commit -m "0"       
 hg bookmark book2
 hg update book2      
 echo two >> test2.txt   
 hg add test2.txt        
 hg commit -m "1"       
 echo three >> test1.txt 
 hg commit -m "2"       
 hg update master
 echo four >> test1.txt 
 hg commit -m "3"       

I obtain
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved
created new head

ls -l tells me

drwxr-xr-x 5 oub oub 4.0K 2016-07-12 15:40 .hg
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub 351 2016-07-12 15:38 script-bookmark
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub 270 2016-07-12 13:30 script-branch
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub   9 2016-07-12 15:40 test1.txt

hg bookmarks
   book2                     2:a310e6f2d56e
 * master                    3:80ae91e1ca84

Hg update book2

ls -l

drwxr-xr-x 5 oub oub 4.0K 2016-07-12 15:40 .hg
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub  351 2016-07-12 15:38 script-bookmark
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub  270 2016-07-12 13:30 script-branch
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub   10 2016-07-12 15:40 test1.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub    4 2016-07-12 15:40 test2.txt

Hg update master

hg update master
1 files updated, 0 files merged, 1 files removed, 0 files unresolved

Now I delete both bookmarks

  hg bookmark -d book2
  hg bookmark -d master


ls -l 
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub 351 2016-07-12 15:38 script-bookmark
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub 270 2016-07-12 13:30 script-branch
-rw-r--r-- 1 oub oub   9 2016-07-12 15:41 test1.txt

So test2.txt is not there.

Hg status does not tell me anything.
I expected to see

!test2.txt

Well test2.txt is not in the directory after having deleted the bookmark.
