By default, M-RET is allowed to split lines, and therefore contents. You
may use the following to achieve the desired effect:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-M-RET-may-split-line '((item) (default . t)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
