You are trying to merge two /instances of export command/ and not two /instances of subtrees/. It only so happens that, in your specific case, you are selecting different subtrees for different export instances. What is the value of `org-footnote-section' in your case? Wrt footnotes, what you see in the Org file is not what the exporter sees. Footnote definitions get collected in to the buffer at a suitable point as part of pre-processing (see `org-footnote-normalize'). Also footnote definitions can be placed by hand at arbitrary points through out your Org file. I have a feeling that patch requires more additions. Furthermore, you also need to submit a patch to org-e-html.el which will replace org-html.el in the future. I will let the owners of org-html.el to take over from here.
