This is tricky, since we're dealing with nested inserts and inserts burried
to deeply (a shortcoming of tex actually, but understandable since it's
conceptually complicated). I made a fix which will go into the next beta.
But, keep in mind that footnotes that are sort of saved and flushed
afterwards can end up on a different page when figures float. Such is life. 

For the moment, you can add \forgetall before your \textrule line, or even
\postponefootnotes and cross your fingers. You may consider to use local
footnotes here amd put them at the bottom of your table. See core-not.tex
(or bet amanual) for more info.
