I take that back. It didn't work on the unordered list after all.
Googling around, turns out someone asked about this sort of thing
before (me!):
- http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/76593
In following the thread, it does't seem like there was a
fill-paragraph equivalent that worked on lists. Perhaps someone else
can chime in here on why Org doesn't fill on lists. I get no filling
when running =M-x fill-paragraph= on your example, and it turns it
into a paragraph (ignoring the current "-" bullet structure) using
=M-x fill-region-as-paragraph=.
