Reproducible: Always

Solution:

In file: /usr/lib/python3.2/site-packages/markdown/extensions/footnotes.py
Line #136

Just comment that line.

   -       backlink.set("rev", "footnote")
   +     # backlink.set("rev", "footnote")

This sounds like an upstream bug.

This issue has been resolved in the last version, which discriminates checking the HTML version to use.
