If I convert the book to a Kepub, the link works flawlessly on normal font sizes and brings up a popup with the text of the footnote. I used kepubify rather than Calibre for the conversion, but the result should be the same with Calibre.

In summary: davidfor's diagnosis was spot on, and the issue is precisely one of the size of the link. To fix it, you'll either need to increase the size of the target, or convert the book from epub to kepub.
Thanks for that.

I will try increasing the font size and see how I get on.

I have never used kepub, and I'm not sure how it works.

I used Calibre to convert and save the book as kepub, which I then side-loaded to the kepub folder on my Aura, but the book does not appear in the list. I also created a kepub folder in the books location and copied the file to that, but again the book does not show in the list.
