Indeed the happens because, when a parent gets refiled or
achieved, any entries corresponding to its children are
removed from the agenda.
We address this issue by
- sorting the markers, to make sure parents will be handled
before children
- No longer throwing an error when a bulk action entry no
longer is present in the agenda - most likely it was taken
care of together with its parent.
