Uh, from your description, it sounds as if FM is behaving correctly in that you have two streams and it's numbering and keeping each stream's footnotes separate. You're asking it to keep the streams separate in different frames but merge the footnote streams.
So to get the look you want, you need to break the correct operation. If it was me, I'd just fake it by putting a superscript number into the outside text. Then create a footnote in the main stream and put the outside text footnote into that. And finally hide the footnote number by creating a character format with the font color set to white. At the end of your production cycle, you'll have to set the outside text footnote number, the manual one, to the right digit, but it'll look like you want it to look.
