Ok, got a bit further. My original theme had in the sidebar the loop on cathegories and then all sidbar widgets. With this setup, and I go to a single post, in the footer is_single() resolves to true. Then I moved some of the widgets (Latest Comments, Latest Posts) to the sidebar before the cathegory loop and then is_single() in the footer resolves to false.
So now the only question remains. How can I 'force' is_single() back to false? without putting the 'latest comments' and 'latest posts' below the category loop.

Yes, found it, it was in the codex all along.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_reset_query

So the thing to remember is :
whenever you create a custom query, after that , call <?php wp_reset_query(); ?> to to 'This function destroys the previous query used on a custom Loop. Function should be called after The Loop to ensure conditional tags work as expected.'

so, now I got to go and talk to my theme vendor about not being able to solve this ;-)

That is a good point. And in fact an interesting discovery that I plan to take a look at myself.
