Does a footnote ever have a footnote as an ancestor? If not then

Don't do this, do 
  <xsl:variable name="footnote-number" select="bib:number-footcite(.)"/>


I think the important thing here is that if you want consecutive numbers,
the elements you call xsl:number on must be the same elements that you match
in the count="" pattern of xsl:number. It's not obvious from your code that
this is the case here: but without the source structure and information
about when this template is being invoked, it's impossible to tell.
