This is to be expected. In the second case, the second line defines
a list item, which has precedence over any LaTeX snippet.

I think this is because of a limitation on the number of lines a LaTeX
snippet can span across (IIRC, 3 is the maximum).

In both cases, I suggest to use LaTeX environments instead:

  \begin{equation*}
  x = y
  + 1
  \end{equation*}

and

  \begin{equation*}
  x =
  \begin{array}{cc}
    y & u \\
    z & v
  \end{array}
  \end{equation*}
