So, the result now (with these input files) is that it's working for me as it used to word and as desired ... but I don't know what was done by default before --- I never used to specify anything via fontspec for the footnote refs --- and I don't know why it's been changed.

Howdy,

Assuming you're using TL2010 try using the realscripts package: replace

\usepackage{fontspec}

by

\usepackage{fontspec, realscripts}

in the footnoteproblem.tex file and recompile. The fontspec package in TL2010 needs the realscripts and, possibly, the metalogo packages to fully duplicate what was in xltxtra (which loaded fontspec, xunicode and the metalogo packages).

Good Luck,
