No, that is a limitation with the current bookmark system.

Selecting a file in a folder does generate a playlist, yes, but a special in-memory one.
But I think I see what you're after here. A generic bookmark system that can handle any selection by the user, be it a file in a "normal" folder, a file from a database query or a plain old playlist (modified or not).
In that scenario, a folder selection would just be another dynamically generated playlist, to be handled in the same way as the rest.
Should be possible, though I don't see how it could be done without copying the current .playlist_control file somehow (perhaps as a part of the .bmark file, which could make them noticeably larger).
Llorean:
Would larger bookmark files present a problem with disk space, or also with lowmem targets?
Lear:
The files could be fairly large, and many of them could be created, so it could waste some disk space (several megabytes). Shouldn't be a problem for lowmem targets as such though.
Llorean:
Personally, I'd sacrifice some disk space for a more consistent bookmarking feature, but I'm not sure how others feel.
JdGordon:
the resume files arnt that large.. unless you do some serious fiddling with the playlists...
90% of them would just be the 2 or 3 line file saying "this directory/db list was loaded" and imo that is a much better bookmark setup than current
