of boxed stuff, indeed, so we need to postpone and flush ....

\def\@@makedescription#1%  in core-des.tex
  {\postponefootnotes % added, we assume grouped usage
   \def\currentdescription{#1}%
   \executeifdefined
     {@@description\descriptionparameter\c!location}
     {\getvalue{@@description\v!left}}}


this gives me 7 footnotes
