This is kinda sorta fixed.

This is not really fixed and needs some expert tweaking from a font guru.

10 is the magic threshold for cataclysmic footnote failure. There is currently
no sure fire way to get LilyPond to anticipate a footnote's eventual width and
to deal w/ it accordingly.
I don't think this is a prohibitive gotchya, but it is super annoying. If
anyone knows how LaTeX deals with this, I'd be interested in hearing about it!

At a certain point, it may be more useful to suggest some of these things in
the docs rather than include them in LilyPond.
For example, try:
\version "2.13.54"
\paper {
footnote-numbering-function = #(lambda (layout props int) (interpret-markup
layout props (markup #:tiny #:concat ("[" (number->string int) "]"))))
footnote-number-raise = #1.0
}
\markup {
\override #'(raise . 2) {
\footnote b c
\footnote e f \footnote q r }
}
You need a couple tweaks to make this work, and thus, it is difficult to
prepackage it w/o doing a lot of fancy footwork.

I'm reading "Et que la vaste monde poursuive sa course folle" (Belfond) that
has, on page 184, the footnote:
1. Le "rendez-vous des chasseurs."
No change of font size, big space between note & text, & the footnote is
aligned downwards.
I'll add something to account for this in the not-too-distant future.
Cheers,
Mike
