twoside option breaks sidenote placement about tufte-latex

Yes, known behavior; will consider generalizing. Patch welcome.

I found the following in Robin Fairbairns' footmisc package -- it doesn't bode 
well
for making sidenotes and twoside live in harmony:

 1.3 Option side

 This option (suggested by Frank Mittelbach) causes footnotes
 to be typeset using the \marginpar command: this has the advantage
 that the note appears close to its "call-up", but has all the
 disadvantages associated with the \marginpar command (which consumes
 `float' slots, and doesn’t always place itself correctly at the top
 of pages in two-sided documents). Since the measure in which the
 footnote is to be typeset is likely to be pretty narrow, users of
 the side option are recommended also to use the ragged option, to
 avoid ugly spacing and line breaks.

 There is a further problem (apart from the occasional failure to
 place the marginal note on the correct side of the page) in two-
 sided documents: one would like `raggedness' to appear differently
 in different margins (setting the left, rather than the right,
 side ragged in the left margin). (The author would welcome
 suggestions on means of addressing the problem.)

Should be fixed in r51.  Adding the `asymmetry' option to the `geometry' package
keeps the marginpars in the right side of the page, regardless of the 
oneside/twoside
option.
