Yes, and unfortunately, I don't see any solution here. It isn't really
a bug: a line starting with white space, followed by a number sticked
to a dot is exactly the definition, regexp wise, of a list item (as
explained in `org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator' doc-string).
That's why removing the dot solves the problem.
There are two workarounds I can think of, at the moment:
1. Use (setq org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator ?)). But that will
affect every ordered list.
2. Insert some invisible char (non-breaking space " ") in front of the
item, or just after the dot. But this requires manual changes every
time the problem arises.
As a side-note, this problem isn't specific to recent versions of Org.
For example, in 6.33, use M-RET at X in the following example:
