The \thanks command really is a sort of footnote command:
\long\def\thanks#1{\footnotemark
\protected@xdef\@thanks{\@thanks
\protect\footnotetext[\the\c@footnote]{\@IEEEcompsoconly{\itshape
\protect\@IEEEtriggeroneshotfootnoterule\relax}\ignorespaces#1}}}
so that's probably why. Of course, that doesn't make it transparent to
new users what to do,
though it is illustrated in the template, I believe.
