Thanks for the response!

By the way, this is Vim-Latex 1.9.0.

Here is more data.  I tried the following variants (beginning with the i
that numbers the item):

i."<Tab>".fname."  "    Produces "1"

i.":<Tab>".fname." "   Produces "1:"

i.":".fname." "   Produces "1:article"
   (No space after the colon)

i.": ".fname." "   Produces "1:"
   (Space after the colon)

Also, there is nothing after the word Compile (or any of its siblings)
in the TeX-Suite menu.  So, feeling brave, I opened texmenuconf.vim and
on line 56 deleted the <Tab> after the word "Compile" and got the -ll.
When I added a space after "Compile", the -ll disappeared.

So, recognizing that both <Tab> and space are whitespace, I'll be
looking at how whitespace is handled.
