Another interesting detail is that footnotes do retain their original font from the source document. However, if I copy and paste the text using "Keep Source Formatting," the text is imported correctly, except for the footnotes, which get their font changed.
Which paste options have you selected at File > Options > Advanced? Here, I am using the defaults and I get the expected end result, both with pasting and with the Insert File dialog box.
