The recursion was invoked inside the continuation and I did add render-footnote to the continuation then so it should have recursed into the original definition.

I don't understand what do you expect from this code if not a
recursion trap. :)

It's like (define (f x y) (f x y)).

Anyway, we should avoid TeXmacs crash, e.g. using a max recursion depth
counter.
