Don't know about specifics for your font.

The footnote occurs within a floating table. Which page should it go onto?
Put the {tabular} into a {minipage}, then the footnote will be tied to that.

Also, why declare the {table} inside the {enumerate} list, when you know that it will float to elsewhere? It probably works OK, but it makes your LaTeX source harder to read and thus complicates any later editing that you may need to do.
