The following attached "minimal" example using local footnotes and a small body font size exhibits two problems: 1. The \placelocalfootnotes are incoherently in the "normal" size, as I would expect them to be proportionally reduced. 2. The width of the first column gets incorrectly set (there is a break between "a" and "cell"). Probably there is a better way of achieving this correctly.
