Probably this is on purpose?
In TeX mode it does not know what \footnote does, so assumes it
creates more or less the text that is contained in the argument, like
\it
or something.
In LaTeX mode it knows that \footnote creates something which
is out of the running text, so it removes the text, as it does *NOT*
belong to the running text.
I consider this behaviour correct.
Best wishes
Norbert
