My Draco definitely has a dark mark, for basically all the reasons you mentioned above. I think that JKR does want it to sort of be ambiguous, which is why it's never explicitly stated, but I think she would have had some veto power if she was super against Draco being marked in the movie.
If she says he doesn't, I will happily ignore her. :D
(Though I will say, that I don't think Draco would have drawn a fake mark on his arm. That seems to be the kind of thing that Voldemort would not take kindly to, and I think Draco would have been way too afraid to pull that off)
