I should not have been so fast to take your word for it.  If I use the
default LM fonts, I get the same problems---no leftward protrusion and
no hz in the footnotes.

This doesn't work.  I'm still getting footnotes appearing on the wrong page.

Where is the tracker I should put this in?

I have found another problem which is probably related.  In the same
sort of arrangement, two columns with margins on either side, I would
like to place floats like this:
1. If they appear on the left side, they should end at the right edge
of the left column.
2. If they appear on the right side, they should begin at the left
edge of the right column.
Using \placetable[inmargin] (my best guess), this works fine for case
(2), but case (1) begins at the left edge of the left column and can
overprint the right column.
