Yes, this is indented behaviour, AFAIU.

The problem arises when only some footnotes have a label:
This is a test 1 [fn:n24aa:These are the contents] and here is more[fn::another one].
What to do with the unlabelled ones? Assign a number? If yes, what kind
of number? `org-export-get-footnote-number' counts all the footnotes,
including labelled ones; so that returned number will be 2 in the above
example, leading to awkward ^n24aa followed by ^2 footnote.
But even without `org-export-get-footnote-number', ^n24aa ^1 mixture
might be awkward.
One way could be only using footnote labels when _all_ the footnotes
are labelled.
