This appears to be a bug; I have encountered this bug when exporting a Nisus RTF file with section breaks to PDF.
I exported the same RTF file to “Microsoft Word Format (binary .doc) and then opened the .doc file in NIsus and saved it as RTF and then managed to export the file to PDF.

I do not get the same result; footnotes appear as endnotes in EPUB, but they are not linked to the footnote references.

Try this online file convertor:

https://onlineconvertfree.com/convert-format/rtf-to-epub/

Footnotes will be preserved and linked as popup text where footnote references appear.

Make a test copy of your Nisus RTF file. Open the file in TextEdit and save it; this will kill notes and comments (which TextEdit does not support). Open the saved file in Nisus; Character styles will be preserved; most paragraph styles will be preserved; some paragraph styles will need to be reapplied in Nisus
