My apologies for not updating the Debian bug in a timely way. In the meantime I found more info - perhaps newly posted? - on mozillazine. Turns out that it's an upgrade bug; during the upgrade from v2 to v3, the configuration items relating to "places" are sometimes left in a bad state that interferes with saving bookmarks.
When I reset those configuration items, my Iceweasel returned to sanity. You may wish to retitle the bug, or just close it.
