Endgraf (which is a 'copy' of \par is not seen as a literate par (interesting since it's a straight copy). One way around is to define all macros in a call chain with parameters as \long (\long\def\...). Unfortunately there is no switch to disable this 'feature'. Another funny error catcher is \outer but in context i \let\outer\relax in an early stage so that is kind of gone. >The left and righthand footer are now aligned on the bottom.
