This is a known limitation of `org-footnote-in-valid-context-p', which
relies on `org-inside-LaTeX-fragment-p' (see its docstring). It should
use `org-inside-complete-LaTeX-fragment-p', which doesn't exist yet[1].


Regards,

[1] Well, there is:

  (memq (org-element-type (org-element-context))
        '(latex-environment latex-fragment))

but this is not an option at the moment.
