Could you send me an example file, after your description I think that I
know where the error is.

Because of the present structure of paragraph. The correct solution to
this case, already in 1.1 (I think) is to a have footnote as any other
inset.

That has to do with the document structure, the indentation is intended:
<!doctype linuxdoc>
<article>
<blah>
</article>
My main concern with the linuxdoc was to produce legal linuxdoc and I
didn't care about "nice" linuxdoc. Your are welcome to change that, there
are also other problems related with line braking that could be fine-tuned.

No that I'm aware, besides running all the structure.
