"Delete all bookmarks except for backups" in Safe Mode doesn't work

When you select "Delete all bookmarks except for backups" in the Safe Mode dialog, like so:
Bookmarks_safemode_dialog.png
...presumably all your bookmarks will be gone. When PM restarts, however, all the bookmarks are still there! :?:

To test, I created a new, clean profile, and then created some random bookmarks. (I made no backups.) I made the selection illustrated above in the Safe Mode dialog box and hit "Make Changes and Restart". Upon restart, nonetheless, the bookmarks were still there!
