OK yes—it seems like this difficulty has been bugging people all summer (my struggles began here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/pandoc-discuss/D-fD7phDB4w). One intermediate step would be to clarify the Read Me, so people stop trying to get pandoc-citeproc to work with citations in md footnotes.
A larger solution might be in giving up the ability of pandoc-citeproc to produce either inline citations or note citations. I understand how useful this is, but if it doesn't actually work for one side of it (notes), I don't see the value. Of course, I only work with Chicago note-bibliography, which is where my bias comes from. But it seems to be designed primarily for those who work with Chicago author-date (and other inline styles), not really those who use both extensively. But as I'm sure this would entail a fair amount of work to just get back to where it is now, I understand the downsides.
Of course, I remain deeply grateful for pandoc overall, regardless of this issue.
On a related note, perhaps there are other humanists and fellow travelers on this board who use note citation styles (primarily Chicago note-bibliography, I'd assume) successfully with pandoc-citeproc—long footnotes and all? Any tips or workarounds?

It's an issue that comes up only for footnote styles: how
to deal with citations that are already in footnotes?
Perhaps pandoc-citeproc can be improved here, but it's
not entirely clear what to do.

My understanding is that, as pandoc-citeproc works to automatically make footnotes when called for by the csl, all footnotes that have citations in them should be formatted only with brackets, not in full md foonotes. But only an md footnote (not an line one) can handle multiple paragraphs. Am I missing something? Sticking pandoc citations in md footnotes (with or without brackets) produces undesired results. Thanks!
