[XeTeX] Customizing footnote markers

[John Was]

I'd be curious to know what kind of a book could support a ten-inch indentation before the footnote-cue...

Well, it looks to me as if the expansion of @makefntext tries
to perform an assignment to \parindentFFN (even though
you omitted an explicit assignment operator); surely this is
not what you intended ?
    I intended to have an indentation before the footnote marker.
  Ah, but what you have, rather than an indentation, is the intended
  dimension of the intendation (ten inches, in this case).  If you want
  this dimension to be used to effect an indentation, then you need to
  add a command to cause an indentation (of specified dimension)
  to take place.  I don't speak LaTeX, but you might consider (e.g.)

      \renewcommand \@makefntext [1]%
          {%
              \leavevmode \hbox to \parindentFFN {}\@thefnmark.~#1%
          }

  or something along those lines.
