I am trying to set some poetry in a footnote and have encountered a problem.

Here is a footnote.

\stoptext
 
produces
 a b c  d 
(a single line). Is this a wee bug or have I missed something?

I am using the latest minimals.

Place that section into a buffer:
\starttext
Here is a footnote.
\startbuffer[fn:abcd]
 \startlines
  a
  b
  c
  d
 \stoplines
\stopbuffer
\footnote{Some text:
\getbuffer[fn:abcd]
And some more text.}
\stoptext
