I actually think this has something to do with David's work on the parser (could be wrong...). This is the postfix variety of footnote, or the one that does not need to specify a grob and assigns the footnote to whatever grob is created by the first event that comes down the pipe. I'm actually amazed that it works, as the NoteHead is facultative - if you replaced it w/ Stem it'd do the same thing (meaning footnote the NoteHead).
