In my instance the footnote spanned multiple pages.
HERE IS THE BUG:
When I page forwarded to read rest of the foot note the "Back" touch button disappeared. A pageback did not return it, so I was basically left at the end of the chapter. I had to repeatedly pageback hunting for the departure point (*).

That said, there's a bug here. There is a Back button on the Go To popup menu, but it doesn't always capture the hyperlink jumps. I navigated a link, went next page, Back button at top disappeared, but the Back on Go To menu took me to a previous reading position where I had clicked on a link there. It's kind of a bad one. workaround is to set bookmarks before each jump, I suppose, but ick.
