I *does* work. I tested it before sending the message. Of course,  
(La)TeX has to have room for that extra line between the normal last  
line and the footnote, or has to be able to shrink the text somewhere  
(enumerations, quotes or the like).

I'll send you privately the gridded page with which I made the test,  
both before and after the change.

Best,

Axel
