This is completely technical implementation detail in Writer. This does not
match common sense (no one will think that "Of course, this is usually the most
time-consuming part." below constitutes a separate list item - which, e.g., may
have an own "done" mark; people will understand that all three paragraphs from
"Do the real work." till "Some more pseudo-deep thoughts on this..." constitute
a single list item, and discuss one step number two). And your perception also
does *not* match ODF, where a list like

  1. Create a plan.
  2. Do the real work.
     Of course, this is usually the most time-consuming part.
     Some more pseudo-deep thoughts on this...
  3. Report to the community.

will be

  <text:list>
   <text:list-item>
    <text:p>List item 1</text:p>
   </text:list-item>
   <text:list-item>
    <text:p>List item 2 paragraph 1</text:p>
    <text:p>List item 2 paragraph 2</text:p>
    <text:p>List item 2 paragraph 3</text:p>
   </text:list-item>
   <text:list-item>
    <text:p>List item 3</text:p>
   </text:list-item>
  </text:list>

All in all, you show exactly the problem that I ask to fix.

Do you have a mockup?
