Your pf_ul.tex had a spurious (or incomplete) \insert command at
the end, that is what was causing an error problems "Missing number".


For the footnoted references, this seems to work:

% two new fields, for use in \mycite
\newbibfield[avtor]
\newbibfield[kratko]

%  footnote-based definition of \cite, with extra data
\def\mycite[#1][#2]%
    {\bgroup
    % this adds the reference to the publication list
    % in the back:
    \nocite[#2]%
    % you can get all single-valued fields with this
    % \commands (title,issue,journal etc.) but not the
    % \author,\artauthor and \editor because they have
    % special arguments:
    \getcitedata[avtor][#2] to \localavtor
    \getcitedata[kratko][#2] to \localkratko
    % you may want more fields and/or better formatting:
    \footnote{\localavtor, \localkratko, #1}%
    \egroup}

% use is like so:
This is known\mycite[str. IV-VI in XI][bavcon_zkp]


% this setup needs the extra \avtor and \kratko in the bbl file :
\startpublication[
	k=bavcon_zkp,
	a=Bavcon,
	t=clanek,
	y=2003]
	\title{Na rob peti noveli zakona o kazenskem postopku}
	\kratko{Na rob}
         \avtor{L. Bavcon}
	\author{Ljubo}[L.]{}{Bavcon}
	\journal{Pravna praksa}
	\volume{22}
	\issue{6/7}
	\pubyear{2003}
\stoppublication


You are operating on the border of what is doable for the current
bibliographic module, and I have no time to spend a month on a rewrite 
just now, so if this is still not good enough, you are out of luck.


Best wishes,
Taco
