I also haven't yet looked at the file, however pdfwrite does *NOT* support the
full possible range of pdfmarks. Even amongst the supported pdfmarks not all
options are supported, I would imagine that this is the source of the problem.

There is already (I believe) an open enhancement to increase the range of
pdfamrks we support.

[later]

I have looked at the file now, and I don't see a pdfwrite problem. The new
annotation simply opens underneath the old annotation. You can see the 'wedge'
pointing to the new annotation even though the actual 'note' is underneath the
old note if you hover the mouse over the note icon. If you click and move the
(old) yellow note, you will see the (new) 'mustard' note revealed. Using
different text for the two notes would have helped reveal this of coursee...

It does look like the PDF interpreter didn't copy the colour from the original
annotation, which is why it has changed from 'mustard' to the default colour of
yellow. This might be opened as a PDF interpreter enhancement request.

The stamp annotation is missing because the PDF interpreter does not create
pdfmarks for this kind of annotation for consumption by pdfwrite. The only
annotation it preserves are Text and Link annotations. Again this could be a
PDF interpreter enhancement request.

MuPDF does not (for me anyway) display the annotations in the original
document, so I don't see why we should expect it to display the annotations in
the pdfwrite output. I imagine this is because none of the annotations have an
appearance stream.
