ASCII export of anonymous footnotes works fine for me.  here is an  
example for your text above:


The following text

      Some text[fn::text] with note

is exported like this:

      Some text[1] with note

      [1] text

Also, when inserting a footnote, I can eave the label empty - the
fact that this is not working for you must mean that you have some
completion setup that takes over the generic function
`completing-read'.

I guess you can hack the paragraph... regexps to make \par
a separator.

It is very difficult for org to find footnotes if there
are several definitions in a buffer for the same footnote label.
But I can follow you argument, so the definition is now search up
in the buffer, before looking down.
