It seems that the bug is either
1. That the footnote that is written out at all. If you call
org-footnote-action (or whatever C-c C-x f is) you are told that
footnotes are not supported in headings
2. The optional argument of the \section-like command should
automatically be set either :ALT_TITLE or :title sans the footnote
if a footnote is present.
