Hey Reinhold,

Footnotes in markups only work in top level markups.  You'd have to trigger an 
annotation event during the timestep that the InstrumentName grob is created 
and then footnote it as a grob.

For now, a workaround:

\new Staff { \set Staff.instrumentName = "foo*" \footnoteGrob #'TextScript #'(0 
. 0) "" "* bar" a'1^"" }

Cheers,
