It turned out that loading bigfoot sometimes leads to wrong placement of the footnotes (in the wrong page).

An attempt should be made to create a MWE and send it to the bigfoot maintainer.

If this strategy fails, I think we can revert to the old manyfoot, removing also the perpage package. The catch is that you can't nest footnotes anymore. This, however, can be done this way:

Here we have\footnote{Second\footnotemarkB}\footnotetextB{This is nested} a footnote and a secondary\footnoteB{sec-second}

I.e., splitting mark and text (which needs to be placed outside of the footnote).

This in turn fails (partially) if you have multiple secondary footnotes in a single note, which will lead to a duplicate number.

If we maintain our own counter, it could work, though:

Here we have\footnote{Second\footnotemarkB[1]\footnotemarkB[2]}\footnotetextB[1]{This is nested}\footnotetextB[2]{This is nested again} a footnote and a secondary\footnoteB[3]{sec-second}

With this change the ability to use manyfoot instead is given back to
the template, which can be changed by the archive maintainer.
