\startlines not working in footnotes

I am trying to set some poetry in a footnote and have encountered a problem.

\starttext
Here is a footnote.
\footnote{Some text:
\startlines
a
b
c
d
\stoplines
And some more text.}

\stoptext

produces
 a b c  d
(a single line). Is this a wee bug or have I missed something?

I am using the latest minimals.

Place that section into a buffer:

    \starttext
    Here is a footnote.
    \startbuffer[fn:abcd]
      \startlines
       a
       b
       c
       d
      \stoplines
    \stopbuffer
    \footnote{Some text:
    \getbuffer[fn:abcd]
    And some more text.}
    \stoptext
