[O] $ in paragraph -- footnote problem

[Alan L Tyree]

According to the manual (at 11.7.3):

 * Text within the usual LaTeX math delimiters.  To avoid conflicts
     with currency specifications, single `$' characters are only
     recognized as math delimiters if the enclosed text contains at
     most two line breaks, is directly attached to the `$' characters
     with no whitespace in between, and if the closing `$' is followed
     by whitespace, punctuation or a dash.  For the other delimiters,
     there is no such restriction, so when in doubt, use `\(...\)' as
     inline math delimiters.

I have a paragraph with a $120,000 in it. At any point after the $ sign, 
org will not let me insert a footnote, giving the message "Cannot insert 
a footnote here". Removing the $ allows a footnote, but replacing the $ 
disables it. Adding another currency figure to the paragraph changes 
nothing.

Is this a bug or a problem with my setup?

emacs 24.3.1
org 8.0.6

Thanks for any help,
Alan
