Ok, here we are: \starttext
\placelist[chapter,section] hello\footnote{ciao} \chapter{Hello\footnote{weird!}} \section{Hello\footnote{another fn}} hello\footnote{ciao} \stoptext The first footnote will start at 3 by itself. There is some weird interference between the placelist and the footnote, as removing the \placelist the numbering starts correctly. Found in both the latest minimals and in the TeXlive pretest.
