Known behaviour. May I suggest 
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab
I've never needed footnotes in tables that are longer than a single 
page, and therefore
the minipage trick works for me:

\begin{table}
\caption[Comparison between literature values and our results]%
	{A comparison between literature values and our results.}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\renewcommand{\thefootnote}{\thempfootnote}
	\renewcommand{\footnoterule}{}
\begin{tabular*}{\textwidth}{p{45mm}l@{\extracolsep{\fill}}l}
Blah & ---\footnote{Not indicated.\label{fn:ni}} & . . . \\
. . .
\end{tabular*}
\end{minipage}
\end{table}
