Are you sure there was no bookmark there before? A bookmark can be applied either to an item/string (in which case, it's enclosed in square brackets) or to a location (in which case it's an I-beam). 

I assume if there were square brackets there before, you'd have noticed. But maybe you didn't notice a location bookmark, and the autocorrect process in some mysterious way inserted the (tm) _within_ that (theoretically zero-width) bookmark, turning it into a square-bracket-enclosed item bookmark. 

Just a guess â
