Your fix might help for the footnote case, but there is no guarantee
that there are not more complex layouts that suffer from the same
problem. Really, the layout is a complete mess, at least from an
architectural POV. There is no clear relationship and ownership between
objects. That might work better in a world with garbage collection, but
in the ugly world of pointers this is the road to hell.

So yes, your fix looks better in the first place, but it still contains
some risk. Choose what you like more.
