It is actually illegal to define a footnote within a marker.

Thanks for clarifying Peter.
 From the 1.1 Draft.
6.12.3 fo:footnote
Constraints
...
It is an error if the fo:footnote occurs as a descendant of a flow 
that is not assigned to a region-body, or of an fo:block-container 
that generates absolutely positioned areas. In either case, the 
block-areas generated by the fo:footnote-body child of the fo:footnote 
shall be returned to the parent of the fo:footnote and placed in the 
area tree as though they were normal block-level areas.

Chris,
I should have added the following from the Rec on fo:marker and 
fo:retrieve-marker.

"6.13.5 fo:marker
...
An fo:marker may contain any formatting objects that are permitted as a 
replacement of any fo:retrieve-marker or fo:retrieve-table-marker that 
retrieves the fo:marker's children."

and
"6.13.6 fo:retrieve-marker
...
Constraints:
An fo:retrieve-marker is only permitted as the descendant of an 
fo:static-content.

The fo:retrieve-marker specifies that the children of a selected 
fo:marker shall be formatted as though they replaced the 
fo:retrieve-marker in the formatting tree."

The implication to me of the combination is that the contents of 
fo:marker are under the same constraints as the fo:retrieve-marker; that 
they are not, in formatting terms, descendants of an fo:flow, but of an 
fo:static-content, destined for a region other than fo:region-body.

In other words, the fo:marker ancestor of the fo:footnote is "not 
assigned to a region-body."

Footnotes are a bit of a mess in FOP, and so its no surprise that when 
you try to do advanced things like this, the behaviour is not as 
expected. I'm guessing that you'll need to settle for footnotes defined 
out of a marker, just in the regular flow.

Can you provide a little more information please. What version of FOP 
are you using? And a small snippet of your FO would be helpful too.

Can you post the  section you are using for the footer?

If you are not using a header/footer layout, try the fragment below:
