This is a known limitation documented in

I'm probably not the best to answer that question, but looking into the
footnote test cases in our test suite there seem to be pretty good
reasons why breaking up a footnote is absolutely ok. If you want to know
about the details I suggest you go through the fop-dev mailing list
archive. At any rate, I can't see anything in the specification that
forbids this. 6.10.4 even says "The fo:footnote-body generates and
returns one or more block-level areas with area-class "xsl-footnote"."
This is a clear indicator that a footnote may be broker over multiple
pages.
