I have done so and there's some interesting behaviour.  Here is a
summary of 4 different results exporting essentially the same content
for the attached org file:

1. export the whole file (C-cC-ed) produces a document with all the
   content but with the inline task defining a latex =\item= with a
   strange label (as indicated in my earlier message).

2. go to the headline and select the sub-tree (C-c@) and then export
   (C-cC-ed) generates a PDF with only the text up to the start (but not
   including) of the inline task.

3. place the cursor on *point 1* and export the sub-tree (C-cC-e1d)
   generates the same output as the previous point.

4. finally, place the cursor on *point 2* and export the sub-tree
   (C-cC-e1d) exports only the text *after* the inline task.

Basically, for the last three cases, the exporter has a problem figuring
out what sub-tree actually is.  I don't think the problems have anything
to do with the new list handling (apologies again!).

I hope this helps somebody figure out what is going on.

Thanks,
eric

* problem exporting to latex with inline tasks

*point 1* 

I often use inline tasks to help me organise my thoughts as I am
writing long documents.  However, exporting these no longer seems to
work.

***************************** TODO figure out why this doesn't work
***************************** END

*point 2*

This is some text the follows the inline task.
