Can header items be footnoted?

[Patrick or Cynthia Karl]

I tried to footnote a title as follows:

\version "2.18.0"

\header {
        title = \markup { "My"
          \footnote "*" \italic "* Mine, mine, mine!"
          " Title"
        }
}

A =   \relative b' { 
        c, d e f g a b c 
}

\score {
        \new Staff { \A }
        \layout { }
}


The result was a title of "My * Title", but no footnote and no errors in the 
log file.
