Sorry, Luca. My bad. The test should have been on the flow, not in the footnote area. I've corrected it in CVS.
Right now, that last empty block creates a block area that has a BPD of 14400. In the end this area should collapse to a BPD of 0 so it doesn't affect the page breaking. A footnote like this is a regular work-around in 0.20.5 and we should have it working again. Or maybe it's just a matter of getting linestacking-strategy right. I haven't investigated much, yet. At any rate, this pattern is used to emulate page-position="last". You would agree that an empty block should collapse to a zero BPD, wouldn't you? I hope this answers your question.
