Sorry for my silence, haven't looked into the Orgmode mailing list for
a while. I just pushed a fix for this problem: If the :exact-position
for a list item is supplied we don't search for the position in an
existing list at all but insert the item whereever :exact-position
points to.

I'll mark the patch in patchwork as superseeded this evening as soon
as I recover my password.
