I'm not quite I understand:
Are you saying I should leave the caption in "global scope"?
Regarding the second version: Shouldn't that be:
\startlocalfootnotes
\footnotetext[asdf]{asdf} % this
%\footnotetext[asdf]{\footnote{asdf}} % instead of this
\startplacetable[title={A breakfast table.\note[asdf]}]
\placelegend
{\starttable[|l|r|]
\HL
\VL Spam \footnote {lovely} \VL Bacon \footnote
{wonderful} \VL\FR
\VL Eggs \footnote {wonderful} \VL Spam \footnote {lovely}
\VL\LR
\HL
\stoptable}
{\placelocalfootnotes}
\stopplacetable
\stoplocalfootnotes
?
Best,
Denis
