Looking at the [code](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/templates/application.hbs#L15-L17) by which footer is inserted, I believe it’s not possible to insert JavaScript via `Footer` and `Top`.

The only sections which supports injecting JavaScript are `Header`, `</head>` and `</body>`.

I am not able to repro this, normal content appears fine in Footer. Also here is one of our hosted instance which has custom Footer:

Looks just fine.
