No (to "first backspace: remove bullet/number _and_ indent").
Word doesn't have a proper concept of multiline list item; Writer has it. First
backspace makes the item an "unnumbered item" (i.e., another paragraph inside
the same list item), and that must not change.

If there might be a *second* backspace removing the paragraph from the list,
and then the *third* backspace moving it to the previous line without dropping
the previous paragraph's numbering properties. But making Writer dumb, just
because other software has no such functionality, is not OK.
