Aha. So how do you test things like that? This seems to be OK. Is it?

(ert-deftest org-list-item-test ()
  (with-temp-buffer
    (org-mode)
    (let ((fill-column 70))
      (custom-set-variables '(org-list-allow-alphabetical t))
      (insert "1. some stuff\n"
	      "   a) an alphabetic list item with text longer that the current fill column so that it gets wrapped by fill-paragraph")
      (fill-paragraph)
      (should (not (equal (org-in-item-p) 1))))))


This also explains what I was seeing, as I was setting it in my init
file after org was loaded. I was lulled into a false sense of security
because some aspects of alphabetical list label work in this
circumstance.

All I need now is roman numeral list labels too :)
