I think the main source of the problem is this line in amsart.cls:

\AtBeginDocument{\settoheight{\footnotesep}{\footnotesize M$^1$}}

This setups math for \footnotesize but comes before different
settings of fontspec (which are done in AtBeginDocument too) and so
if the first math after \begin{document} is also in \footnotesize
LaTeX thinks that it is not necessary to reset the math and then
fails. 

Imho fontspec should do something like this:

\documentclass[11pt]{amsart}

\usepackage[]{fontspec}
\makeatletter
\AtBeginDocument{%
  \let\glb at currsize\relax
 }
\makeatother

\begin{document}
  text 
    \footnote{text $1$}%
\end{document}
