That book is a good example showing that even professionally published Kindle books can exhibit this problem.

If someone comes across a book with Enhanced Typesetting that displays a multi-paragraph popup footnote and lets me know I can see how it was done.

That will not work, unfortunately. The KFX converter automatically changes multiple <br/> elements into a new paragraph, which then gets excluded from the footnote.

Using <br/>-<br/> instead does work, but introduces a dash between paragraphs. There may be other tricks to separate paragraphs that would look better. Someone would need to experiment to find out.
