Looks good, but I can't get it to work.  To test it, can I just evaluate the two sexp's in the block you gave inside a scratch buffer, then switch to my trial org file and export to LaTeX?  Trying the OP's sample file gives the same results before and after I evaluate this new bit of code, but I suspect I'm doing something wrong....

Would that work for you?

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-fill-item-nobreak-p ()
 "Non-nil when line break would insert a new item."
 (and (looking-at (org-item-re)) (org-list-in-valid-block-p)))

(add-to-list 'fill-nobreak-predicate 'org-fill-item-nobreak-p)
#+end_src

If it is fine, we may as well include it by default in Org.
