Is the full phrase visible in the PDf on the page where that content 
appears?  (I.e., is it getting lost entirely from the document, or just 
from the bookmark?)

I wonder if the asterisk, being formatted as a footnote indicator, is 
being interpreted as the change of char tag that normally ends a 
hyperlink hotspot.  How does Ctrl-Alt-click behave in the FM file?

That behaviour makes sense to me -- why would you want a footnote 
indicator carried into a TOC entry?  It's only meaningful on the page 
where the footnote content actually appears.
