Comment(by atagar):

 Ah ha, I had taken this into account...

 https://gitweb.torproject.org/stem.git/blob/HEAD:/test/unit/descriptor/networkstatus/document_v3.py#l546

 {{{
 The footer section is delineated in all votes and consensuses supporting
 consensus method 9 and above with the following:

  "directory-footer" NL

 It contains two subsections, a bandwidths-weights line and a
 directory-signature.
 ...
 }}}

 I interpret this as meaning "network status v3 documents can only have a
 footer when using consensus method 9 or later". In these votes however it
 lacks a properly marked footer yet has a directory-signature line. By my
 read of the spec that's malformed.

 How should footers behave prior to consensus method 9?
