Could we solve this by counting the * in each line in the case where the first
character is a *? If the count is odd, then we either have a list item or
a mistake.

I'll have a look at this one, too, once I have some time again.

After playing in my SandBox for a few minutes, I observed that whenever
I type an unordered list element, I always insert a space after the
asterisk. Do other people do this as well? If so, it might make sense to
treat '* ' as beginning a list element, instead of just '*'.

On a procedural note, shouldn't something like this be entered in the
bug tracker on sourceforge?  That way it's less likely that it gets
accidentally forgotten.

I'm not sure if this should be treated as bug.
For me it's a KnownLimitation, which would be some food for Jeff

   Jeff ? :)
   Joel's counting idea, similar to the geometrical point-in-polygon 
test seems to be a nice idea.

Workarounds:
Use old markup,
   __not a list__
rewrap or use   at the first column if it's the very first character,
    *not a list*
or use <strong></strong> instead.
   <strong>not a list</strong>
