footnotecite versus footcite

Hello,
until today I thought that using \footnote{\cite[]{}} and
\footcite[][]{} leads to the same result. But my minimal example shows
that the ibidem mechanism reacts differently depending on the chosen
command. It gives you a full citation for the first citation and a
"Ebenda" for the second. The third one gives an Ebenda when using
footcite and an "shortauthor, a.a.O." when using \footnote{\cite[]{}}.
Changing the first citation from \footnote\cite... to footcite... mixes
up everything as well.
I'm a little bit confused here.
Is that the expected behaviour or a bug in jurabib?
Thanks for your help.

Martin
