I can reproduce the problem even with normal english text. It seems
to be font related, some fonts gives footnotes as expected in
para-mode and other not. The whole is quite curious and will need
some more investion. I'm sending here a minimal example with some
fonts which lead to the problem and some fonts which works:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{fontspec}
%\setmainfont{Sanskrit 2003} %no para
%\setmainfont{Bitstream Cyberbit} %no para
%\setmainfont{Arial} %no para
%\setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman} %OK, para
%\setmainfont{Times New Roman} %OK, para
\setmainfont{Verdana} %no para
%\setmainfont{Cambria} %OK, para

\usepackage[para]{manyfoot}
\DeclareNewFootnote[para]{default}

\begin{document}
\mainmatter
