This should be fixed now, but it's complicated and I'm just going to quote a bit from the pull request:
Note: This will result in footnotes that currently only have one pair of brackets having none. Unfortunately, this is an inconsistency in the HTML itself which cannot be corrected except by editing. I believe that this is because in the past, we had inconsistency in whether the server-side or client-side code would render post's to markdown, as has been noted before. Since we have moved to client-side rendering, inconsistencies should no longer be an issue going forward.
