Thank you for the clarification.
The problem is that it is hard to say under that circumstance what the
right thing to do is if a footnote happens inside the multi-column area.
Dave Kemper and I have discussed this extensively in the venue of
several groff Savannah bugs regarding me(7).
Definitely an important constraint for the general case; in my case no
footnote is necessary.
Also, how do I force a column to break? .bp forces a page break, it
does not break a column.
This is something of an ms(7) FAQ and maybe I should add it to our
documentation.
Tell the formatter you "need" a ridiculous amount of vertical space,
where "ridiculous" is the length of your page, or more. This will force
a column (or page) break. The excess requested space is discarded.

I'll give it a try.

Thank you indeed.
Best regards,
Oliver.
