I understand that blank-number-dot starts a plain list item.
But in my example the numbered list would be second level whilst
the unordered list would be first level (of indentation).
Org-mode rightly inserts a dash but why does it fiddle with
another list item of different (second) level when inserting an
new first level item? Is this necessary to in order to insert
the next dashed item?
That's different to your example:

I see the problem but here the cursor is at a second level item.
Therefore it is not astonishing that org-mode produces another
one with M-RET.
In my case I could see the change of "2007." to "1." because
it was so near it was also on the display. But this may happen
with list items which are not displayed and therefore one would
not recognise the damage...

I'll do this. Thank you and the other commentators for your help.
Ciao; Gregor
