Bug Description
In PcbNew pressing E at stacked elements should allow to select which one you wont to edit.
I have 3 footprints one over another (ferrite plate, antenna for 13.56MHz, antenna for 125kHz). I didn't found other way to enter by E to one I need then moving others. But I have them exactly located previously.

Use the ALT key to force disambiguation. (Left click while pressing alt will bring up the disambiguation dialog for all things possible at that position.)
Having outline drawings on fab, silk and courtyard also greatly aids in selecting the right footprint to edit as anything enclosed within that outline is then assumed to be part of the footprint. (Not sure which layer is the most important here. Have done too little testing for that.)
Pad only footprints are quite hard to select.
