Yes, this first-word problem is a nuisance. If I recall (and this is a really old memory) I think there's an issue affecting footnotes in normal LaTeX because they are set in restricted horizontal mode. That can affect catcode expansion and also hyphenation, I think. There are some packages out there that rewrite the LaTeX footnote code to use the same "unboxed" ideas as in plain.tex.
