Thank you, Nicholas! That explains everything. I wonder how I didn't come across the link you mentioned before. I should have tried that simply in LaTeX.

Even if you leave out org completely and just look at latex, things are far from simple. There is a FAQ and an answer on this topic here: http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab As you can see, things are not simple even if you write in latex. None of this is implemented in org. Best advice: don't use footnotes in tables. If you have to use them, add them in a post-export pass, possibly by formatting the table outside of org and including it from a separate file. HTH, Nick
