In my setup, it deletes footnote [fn:2].

Damn, I missed one important part in the ECM: Set

      org-footnote-section

to nil. Does it still leave them untouched?

It does not reference between included files, but references from
included files to the main file actually work.

What I would expect is that the footnotes get moved to the end of the
section with the last #+include: which uses the footnote.
