I seem to be getting the same results as you. Having looked at your PDF
you will find (as I do) that all your footnotes are at the very end of the 
chapter. I haven't checked the stylesheet code yet but I used the following
definition, without success.

(define %bop-footnotes%
  ;; Make "bottom-of-page" footnotes?
  #t)

When you have a hundred odd page chapter and the footnotes all turn up at the 
end (and not at bop!), finding where the notes originate from is rather 
difficult :-/

In case you missed it,  Kevin Dunn just posted a fix for that to the list  a 
few hours ago!
