Bodvar - I haven't run into the specific problem you describe, and I can't offer much advice as I work with single-column documents almost exclusively, although they do use side heads.
As you are working in a structured document, there may be issues with element formatting such as keep with next/previous properties, and widow/orphan settings. And because settings are inherited, it may be specified on a higher element in the structure before you actually see a problem. Have you checked and perhaps adjusted the Feathering property (found in Format > Page Layout > Line Layout) of the text flow? Are your footnotes set to be "In Column" or "Across All Columns"? (I don't know if this makes a difference or not) You can try to re-hyphenate the document. Odd as it seems, this often clears up some unusual formatting issues that otherwise don't seem solvable.
