I found this line and comment in macro/FootNote.py

Dependencies = ["time"] # footnote macro cannot be cached

I put this line into my macro and got the desired behavior. Problem 
solved (I think).

I still don't understand what the Dependencies variable does. I'll have 
to go over the code more closely to figure out why this stops the 
caching behavior. Any quick explanations are welcome.
