Actually, there's a special case in ox-html.el (see line 2960) that
prevents the first paragraph in an item to get <p> tag. I guess that
this rule is meant for short lists, e.g.,

 - item 1
 - item 2

where you do not want a new paragraph for each item. So, the special
case could be extended to also check if there's another element in the
item before ignoring the tags.
