I am attaching a patch that should fix this issue. I will let Nicolas
review/apply it.

ps: If you are not comfortable applying patches, the best way to get
things working again, is to force a blank line before the first
non-commented line in your Org file i.e., replace

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[snip]
#+XSLT:
* Protocol
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

with 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
[snip]
#+XSLT:

* Protocol
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

in the test file that you circulated.

Subject: [PATCH] org-footnote: Workaround a limitation in the ODT exporter

* lisp/org-footnote.el (org-footnote-normalize): Force a paragraph
break after the last footnote definition.  This is an an
implicit assumption made by the org-lparse.el library.  With
this change, footnote definitions can reliably be exported
with ODT backend.  See
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2012-02/msg01013.html.
