Hi Gregor,

thanks for the detailed report.

It might disappoint you, but by take on this is very simple: you
should not try to use inline tasks within plain lists.

I added this note in the comment header of org-inlinetask.el:

  ;; Note that you should not try to use inline tasks within plain list,
  ;; visibility cycling is known to be problematic when doing so.

If anyone is willing to support inline tasks within plain list,
please send a patch.  

Thanks,
