At the bottom of the first page, "hugging" the last line of the English, there
are two odd characters (apparently a ^W and ^V). Needless to say, those do
not appear in the input, but maybe the \vsplit does something odd?
I have tried the same by using *only* English text, and I have the same
problem; so it is not related (as I originally had considered) to xetex
splitting the pointed Hebrew incorrectly.

Arrgh! So I have to manage a separate footnote box I guess. Well, that's not
too hard at least.
Thanks!
