Hi Eric,

Interesting.  I see the following:

- here is an item
- and a second from M-RET
- and the third one which is long but will hopefully be auto-filled when
  I type enough.  And, lo and behold, it seems to work just fine.

I find that orgalist works much better than orgstruct-mode ever
did.  The experience you are having is what I used to get with
orgstruct-mode which meant I usually did not enable it.  orgalist is
enabled all the time and I have yet to see any strange behaviour [1].

Hope this helps,

Footnotes:
[1]  well, other than me sitting looking blankly at the screen while
     waiting for an email to be sent because I typed C-c C-c and forgot
     that I was sitting in a list when I did so...  orgalist takes over
     that binding when in a list and I keep forgetting!
