If you load the xunicode+fixltx2e packages, you don't need to make
the redefinition of fnsymbol but I'm not sure if the output will look
any different. I don't see the awkwardness you do, though.
Actually, xltxtra will load those packages for you, but it's a little
bit broken at the moment and undergoing surgery.
Sorry I can't be of more help,
