If I put a LaTeX citation command inside one of org's inline footnotes, no
problem, thus:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet,\footnote{\cite{rowe_acts_2007} } consectetur
adipisicing elit,

But if I need an optional argument, no dice.  This:

 ex ea commodo consequat.[fn:: \cite[56]{fitzmyer_one_2007}] Duis aute irure
dolor

exports to LaTeX like this:

ex ea commodo consequat.[fn:: \cite[56]{fitzmyer_one_2007}] Duis aute irure
dolor

(i.e. there is no \footnote{} macro created)

For consistency in my markup, I would rather use org's inline footnotes for
citations like this (which sometimes number several inside a footnote).   If
I can't, I'd just go ahead and use LaTeX \footnote{} macros right in my org
files.

Is the present behaviour likely to be fixable?  Or should I just write my
footnotes as LaTeX \footnotes{}?
