Looking at the code, I believe these options may not be relevant (for
the odt exporter)

Your org file doesn't use an explicit line break or timestamps. So the
only scenario under which line breaks can occur is precisely when you
have actually requested them.

Check this variable or the corresponding OPTIONS directive.


,----[ C-h v org-export-preserve-breaks RET ]
| org-export-preserve-breaks is a variable defined in `org-exp.el'.
| Its value is nil
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means preserve all line breaks when exporting.
| Normally, in HTML output paragraphs will be reformatted.  In ASCII
| export, line breaks will always be preserved, regardless of this variable.
| 
| This option can also be set with the +OPTIONS line, e.g. "\n:t".
| 
| You can customize this variable.

IIRC, the (x)html exporter adds a line break after emitting an headline
which is listified.

The odt exporter doesn't emit the line break like the xhtml
exporter. (May be I was a bit mindful while typing out org-odt.el) So
the options H, toc etc may not be relevant.
