Pinboard Read It Later for iPhone

I am having issues with the official Read It Later bookmarklet on the
iPhone. When using it, a new page would be opened, then immediately
closed, but Safari would be left looking at the right-most page, not
necessarily the page you were last observing. For now, I've created
the following bookmarklet, which i've tested successfully in Safari
both on the Mac and on the Iphone:

javascript:void((function(){q=location.href;p=document.title;l='http://
pinboard.in/add?
later=yes&noui=yes&jump=close&url='+encodeURIComponent(q)
+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(p);(new Image()).src = l;})());

The only issue is that there is no visual feedback to let you know the
page has been bookmarked successfully. Has anyone created anything
similar, and also added some behaviour such as that observed in the
instapaper bookmarklet? Are there any changes planned with the
official bookmarklet to make it more iPhone friendly?
