We are looking into this. All footnotes in vertical mode are
behaving oddly.

The missing linebreak is probably realted to the problem as in the
other thread, so you just have to wait a little bit longer, until that
is fixed for this problem to magically go away as well.

The disappearing footnote may be unfixable within \startquotation. It 
would be easier to define your own start-stop pair for this, because
\startquotation ... \stopquotation doesn't actually support tacking on 
stuff at the end. Try this instead:

   \long\def\startcitedquotation[#1]#2\stopcitedquotation
       {\bgroup \par
        \startnarrower
          \symbol[leftquotation]%
          #2\removeunwantedspaces
          \symbol[rightquotation]%
          \cite[#1]
        \stopnarrower
        \par \egroup}
