AFAIU the code, it detects footnote references by looking for [0-9]+
in parentheses, then fontifies those of the references whose numbers
are smaller than the number of footnotes actually present in the node.
So, for example, if a node has 5 footnotes, "(6)" will not be
fontified, but each occurrence of "(4)" will be fontified.
The comment there says:
;; Don't fontify parenthesized numbers that cannot
;; possibly be one of this node's footnotes. This still
;; doesn't catch unrelated numbers that happen to be
;; small enough, but in that case they should use
;; "@footnotestyle separate" in the Texinfo sources.

That's a good solution, thanks.
So I'm closing this bug report.
