I believe it does not - even by your description; let me explain why I mean
with an example.

1. Create a new document in an LTR locale (say, English).
2. Type "hello".
3. Insert a footnote with the text "world".
3. Sanity check: Note the first page has the Default Page Style; the first
paragraph is LTR; the footnote paragraph is LTR; the footnote separator is on
the left; and if you open Format|Paragraph you see "use superordinate".
4. Now, Create a new page style, "Fun Page".
5. Change the direction of the "Fun Page" style from LTR to RTL.
6. Set the page style to "Fun Page"

What we now see is:

* The first paragraph's (effective) direction has switched to RTL.
* The footnote paragraph's (effective) direction has switched to RTL.
* The footnote separator remains on the left.

You see? Paragraph direction inherits, footnote separator does not.

What I'm asking for is the same behavior for footnote separator as for
paragraphs: Both should have LTR, RTL, or "use supraordinate" for their
direction setting; the footnote separator only currently has "left" and
"right". (Alternatively, one could just force it to always inherit, respecting
the page style, but maybe that's too harsh.)
