Thanks for taking care of my last issue so quickly; as a reward, I've
found another one!  ;-)  (Seriously, thanks for the blazing turn
around last time -- and thanks for org-mode, I'm finding a lot of
things to love!)

org-clock-find-position (6.07b again) displays unexpected behavior
when it encounters a clock line preceding a bulleted list.
Specifically, when a :CLOCK: drawer is created, the drawer encompasses
the first list item.  E.g.:

* Heading
  CLOCK: [2008-09-27 Sat 14:00]--[2008-09-27 Sat 14:30] =>  0:30
  - Bullet 1
  - Bullet 2

Clocking in on this item again will yield (if drawer creation is
enabled):

* Heading
  :CLOCK:
  CLOCK: [2008-09-27 Sat 15:00]
  CLOCK: [2008-09-27 Sat 14:00]--[2008-09-27 Sat 14:30] =>  0:30
  - Bullet 1
    :END:
  - Bullet 2

Looking at org-clock-find-position, this seems to be intentional;
removing the (if (org-at-item-p) (org-end-of-item)) statement "fixes"
this behavior for me, but may be breaking something else which I am
not seeing.

The reason for this behavior is that Org sometimes records a note when  
the clock is stopped in an item.  That note is formatted like an item  
and attached directly to the CLOCK line.  When a drawer is created,  
this note should go into the drawer.

A work-around would be to leave an empty line before your list, like so:

* Heading

   - bullet 1
   - bullet 2

If you then clock this entry, Org will know that "bullet 1" is not a  
clocking note.

That is imminently reasonable ... thanks.  :-)
