The exact same thing happened on my iPad over the last day or two … all of my old bookmarks disappeared and were replaced with just the set of default items (Google, Bing, iPad manual, and a couple of others). I couldn't add any new ones at that point, either. Eventually I tried killing off the Safari task in the bottom bar of background apps, and when I restarted Safari thereafter my old bookmarks were back. Definitely seems like a bug, but at least there was a workaround that helped in my case.

Gsper. Go to home screen, swipe up with four or five fingers (or double click home button) this will make running apps appear in the bottom bar. Touch and hold one of them and red minus signs will appear, tap these individually to close the apps. As previously stated, if you do this with safari your bookmarks should reappear.
