[O] Italics + footnote in latex export

[James Harkins]

I have:

   Western notation supports a type of /polyphony/[fn:1]

I get:

   Western notation supports a type of /polyphony/\footnote{ ... blah blah ... }

Or, I can have:

   Western notation supports a type of /polyphony/ [fn:1]

And then I get:

   \emph{polyphony} \footnote{ ... blah blah ... }

And LaTeX puts a space between the word and the footnote number, which
is poor typesetting.

I also tried writing the \emph{} directly, but then org-export doesn't
recognize the footnote tag: "\emph{polyphony}[fn:1]" appears in the
.tex file.

How do I keep the footnote text in the "* Footnotes" node and get
proper typesetting in the main text?
