Thank you, Nicholas!
That explains everything. I wonder how I didn't come across the link you mentioned before. I should have tried that simply in LaTeX.

Footnotes in tables are difficult. Even if you leave out org completely and just look at latex, things are far from simple. There is a FAQ and an answer on this topic here:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab
As you can see, things are not simple even if you write in latex. None of this is implemented in org.
Best advice: don't use footnotes in tables. If you have to use them, add them in a post-export pass, possibly by formatting the table outside of org and including it from a separate file.
HTH,
Nick
