Before applying any modification to a list, Org will check its
integrity and correct it. It is necessary, as inserting an item can
change bullets, which in turn can change indentation. And we want this
just right.
Even if it wasn't the case, Org would still recognize the line as an
item start, and problems would arise sooner or later (for example upon
exporting).

I understand this. But as it has already been told in this thread, "."
as bullet separator is risky and you've just encountered the risk. I
don't see a solution about it, but I'm all ears to any reasonable way
to handle this.
