There's one like that in Oxford (for about 30 metres) - street addresses different on the two sides. For the moment it has name="St Clements Street", alt_name="London Place", and a separate footway with name="London Place" (plus a name:note).
So my suggestion - draw separate footways, and give them names. Use name/alt_name on the road, or name = "one name / other name" if both seem equally valid.
