Hi Joseph,
The problem seems to happen when I create a page with a specific skin. If I create a blank FooterBug page with the default desktop version of the skin, the footer does not apply. If I delete that page, and recreate it using the mobile skin, the footer then is applied to the page.
Have a look at this to see what I mean.
