The effect is reproducible with parallel installation of Master "LOdev 
3.7.0.0.alpha0+   -  ENGLISH UI / German Locale  [Build ID: b45834b]" 
{tinderbox: @6, pull time 2012-09-13 00:10:35} on German WIN7 Home Premium
(64bit).:
When I have some short lorem ipsum text and insert a footnote, the footnote
anchor is superscript as expected, but the Footnote Character in the footnote
area is "normal height". 

At least for German (and may be English) texts I do not think that that is a
bug. Although I am used to see footnote characters in superscript, I found
various hints that it is common sense that footnote characters should be in
normal height, for example in 
<http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=footnote%20numbers%20(without%20full%20stop%20or%20bracket)%20in%20the%20footnote%20are%20not%20given%20in%20superscript%20form&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CCIQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gottfried-wilhelm-leibniz-gesellschaft.de%2FDokumente%2FGuidelinesStudiaLeibnitiana.pdf&ei=zkBXUN3CLIqH4gSIxYG4CQ&usg=AFQjCNH6imGa6FHlZNc3e-h9QwsijmCVwg>
(search pdf document for "are not given").

This issue might be Language related, I can't tell whether for other languages
other typographic rules are valid.

I see the not superscript footnote characters back until OOo 1.1.5, so Version
back to first one.

Workaround: If superscript footnote characters  are required simply the
character style for footnote characters has to be modified. 

@Urmas:
Can you cite some public typographic rules for your language underpinning need
for superscript footnote characters by default?
