Pajamas?!
Steve McQueen in bed with Jacqueline Bisset wearing pajamas?
I can not imagine Steve in pajamas.
I might be wrong Aujouret, but I don't think JB is in that early scene. I don't recall seeing her and Bullitt tells Delgetti who's walked into the room and stays there (unlikely if JB was there) that he didn't get to bed until 5:00am.
Bisset is introduced later I think.

Your recollection is correct. I just watched Bullitt again the other night. That first scene of McQueen has him alone, in his pajamas, when Delgetti arrives. We first see Jacqueline Bisset when McQueen goes to her office. She is wearing less in public than he wore in bed. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
My question is, if Bullitt is getting home at 5 AM and seems to know that he's got to get up for work not too long afterwards (he doesn't question why Delgetti has come for him)--why did he bother getting into his PJs in the first place?

...Bullitt is getting home at 5 AM and seems to know that he's got to get up for work not too long afterwards (he doesn't question why Delgetti has come for him)Actually, he does question it, in a terse exchange on the intercom:
FRANK: "What is it?"
DEL: "Work. (pause) Frank, lemme in, willya?"
We're not told how early in the day it is, anyway, and we can assume the high-powered gathering to which they go at Chalmer's house isn't taking place all that early in the morning. And even Del doesn't know why Bennett has sent them there until he asks Frank when he's back in the car, "What was that about," and Frank explains they're to go guard a witness.
When they arrive at the hotel in the Embarcadero (where, Chalmers has told Frank, "He's there now, expecting you"), "Ross" complains, "Mr. Chalmers said you'd be here by 5:00. He guaranteed me that."
Even if they didn't get to Chalmers' until noon, you could even walk from Russian Hill to the Embarcadero in considerably less than an hour, much less five.
So the point is the film is pretty imprecise about time through this whole sequence.
