This is odd, but since I've not yet taken the time to update my org-mode to the latest version, perhaps this is a non issue.  Would someone with an up-to-date version try this out.

org-version reports: Org-mode version 5.23a

version reports:  GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1 (powerpc-apple-darwin7.9.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0) of 2007-10-02 on applecore.inf.ed.ac.uk - Aquamacs Distribution 1.2a


I have the following list under a headline, with blank entries:

*** Vacation Days
  1. <2008-03-20 Thu>
  2.
  3.
  4.
  5.
  6.

If I (fold and then) unfold the headline to "CHILDREN", I see the following:

*** Vacation Days
  1. <2008-03-20 Thu>...
  3.
  4. ...
  6.

This looks odd to me: item number 2 is folded, as is item number 5.  It looks like an out of sequence list, so I tried to renumber it using C-c C-c.  Then I see:

*** Vacation Days
  1. <2008-03-20 Thu>...2.
  3.
  4. ...5.
  6.

In recreating this, I discovered my inconsistency which seems to cause this: line items number 2 and 5 do not have a space after their period. Add some spaces, and there is no weirdness.  Take all the spaces away, and then "CHILDREN" folded headlines look like:

*** Vacation Days
  1. <2008-03-20 Thu>...

Now that I know that what looked like an 'out of sequence' list is just folded in a weird way, I'm over it.  I can certainly add the place holder space when I create blank line items manually (they are added automatically when I use M-<return>.  But it is curious, and probably unexpected behavior.  Is this easy to fix or has it already been fixed in the current update?

Maybe no fix is required.

(And thanks again for org-mode, and the mailing list too!)
