I have the same problem with reverting Dired buffers that later
are restored from window states and window configurations.

Moreover, a similar problem is also an obstacle in bug#32536,
please see a detailed explanation I posted now there where
the reverted Man buffer invalidates markers in the Occur buffer.

Is it possible to fix all these problems by not resetting markers to the
beginning of the reverted buffer, but allowing markers to keep their
previous positions in reverted buffers?  Or maybe reverting functions
should be more smart to restore markers using remembered context,
like e.g. bookmarks do.
