Sorry, as soon as I sent this I realised that it was  not quite right

It is better to have the generated code look like this

\subsection[watch the footnote]{watch the footnote\footnote{a footnote in a
    heading does not work, but a protected one does.}}

Then you don't get the footnote duplicated in the table of contents.
