Hey Peter,

As you correctly point out, \footnote is new, and there are a few kinks to work 
out (you may be the first person who's tried them on these grobs).  The goal is 
for the syntax you've used to work for every grob (or to issue a message 
stating why it can't work for a given grob).  If you report this to the bug 
list, it'll likely be worked on in the not-too-distant future.

Cheers,
