Follow-up Comment #2, bug #172 (project tex4ht): Thank you for the report, the original issue indeed seems to be fixed.
The footnote issue can be fixed without need to use sed. I cannot find the source of the spurious spaces, but tex4ht can be instructed to ignore spaces using the \special{t4ht@)} command. I've added this command to the footnote configuration in the ooffice configuration file and it seems to fix the issue. BTW, it is better to use make4ht -f odt filename.tex instead of the old mk4ht oolatex, it fixes lot of issues with file names, Unicode and it also supports filtering of the XML files before the xt-pipes processing. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/447968/2891 for example.
