It seems to be something wrong with the footnote labeling code. I have
upgraded to 1.69.1, updated catalog.xml, run the transformation and
got a bit different results, that is, broken footnote labeling in
appendices.  The appendix labels are ok now, i.e., they are letters.

FYI, the footnotes are placed withing table cells. I think it can be helpful.
I worked around this by setting the labeling format to numerical:

table.footnote.number.format set to 1

Do you want me to file a bug report?
