"Surely it depends on where the footnote is referenced from.

If it's from the top of the page (say) then the space available for the content can be shrunk to allow for the longer footnote (I was going to try and illustrate this but it didn't look right). However, if the footnote is from the last paragraph then the choices are to overflow the footnote into the following page (which is what you are seeing) or move the paragraph onto the next page. This would leave a lot (depending on the length of the paragraph and the footnote) of white space on the page - which is not good from a typographical point of view."
