Could you elaborate on that? Could you give a minimal example? If
`org-in-item-p' is returning nil whereas you are in an item, there is
definitely a bug to fix.

Here is a suggestion to mark current item:

(defun mark-current-item ()
  (interactive)
  (when (org-in-item-p)
    (goto-char (org-get-item-beginning))
    (push-mark nil t t)
    (goto-char (org-get-end-of-item (org-list-bottom-point)))))
