I am compiling a text index of a large volume, with the help of imakeidx because I have two separate indexes. For some reason, entries in footnotes result in separate listing from entries in the main text. See the following example:

\documentclass[12pt,twoside,a4paper,openright]{book}
\usepackage{xunicode}
\usepackage{imakeidx} 
\makeindex[name=texts,title=Texts,columns=3,options=-s mystyle -c -l] 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\begin{document}

3.28\index[texts]{Alphabet@\textbf{Alphabet}!3.28}\footnote{3.28\index[texts]{Alphabet@\textbf{Alphabet}!3.28}}

\printindex[texts]
\end{document}

The result is two entries of 3.28, which should have been combined into one, because the first entry has an unexplained space between \textbf and {Alphabet}. How can I avoid this:

  \begin{theindex}

  \item \textbf {Alphabet}
  \subitem 3.28, 1
  \item \textbf{Alphabet}
  \subitem 3.28, 1

  \end{theindex}
