I have a document with hundreds of labels generated by \definelabel. They are used to index quotations in the text. Some of these occur in notes. Previously I had all such notes at the end of the book, as endnotes, but an editor requested a version with the notes as traditional footnotes. When the notes with labels appear in footnotes, the labels are not printed. The MWE below demonstrates the problem. I would expect to see a red 2 at the end of the first line of the footnote.

I have tried to use \defineenumeration instead of \definelabel, but I cannot get a comparable result to what I have with definelabel.

Is this a bug in the footnote typesetting, or a problem with my expectations?
