If you have selected "Different odd and even" and/or "Mirror margins" in the
Page Setup dialog box, and you are restarting the page number to 1 in the
following section, then Word may treat the section break as an Odd Page section
break, yes. However, this is not related to footnotes.

I am having a similar problem, however I am NOT using footnotes on the pages
with the multiple columns. I do have a footer, and am using line numbers. We
use this document template every year for multiple documents and always have
this same problem with it. The recommended solution for formatting footnotes
differently will not work since I am not using footnotes. Does the page
numbering have anything to do with it?
