We can't alter that.  I see a few possible solutions:

1. Don't put markers into arguments to interactive commands,
except thru the specific functions (point), (mark), etc.,
which go into command-history as calls to those functions.

2. Fix programs such as bbdb-create and savehist to find
such markers and replace them with nil.

3. Create a more general mechanism for commands to specify
how to record calls to them in command-history.

Solution #1 seems simplest; is there any reason why you need to put
these markers in args to commands?
