Nice one! Thanks, it saves us some research...
It probably won't change anything with few markers, but in general I 
would avoid raw concatenation in a loop, so my version would be:

----------------------------------------------------
function CopyBookmarkedLines()
	local ml = 0
	local lines = {}
	while true do
		ml = editor:MarkerNext(ml, 2)
		if (ml == -1) then break end
		table.insert(lines, (editor:GetLine(ml)))
		ml = ml + 1
	end
	editor:CopyText(table.concat(lines))
	print('Copied lines: ' .. table.getn(lines))
end
----------------------------------------------------

With added information at the end (Lua 5.0 style) to confirm something 
have been done...
Perhaps it would be nicer to display such info in the status bar, 
avoiding displaying the output pane. But I don't know if Lua can change it.
