I sometimes use this feature, too. But, admittedly, it is a hack.

I though about escaping first opening square bracket, but only if the
item doesn't start with an export snippet. E.g,

  - [item                            -->  \item\relax [item
  
but,

  - @@latex:[\blacktriangle]@@ item  --> \item [\blacktriangle]

Unfortunately, I can't see how to not break your documents if we fix the
problem.

This is orthogonal to the issue at hand. The problem is not the checkbox
but what comes after. IOW, this feature can be implemented with or
without fixing the bug above (also, a filter can do the job).
