Checkbox export is handled by a constant and a custom variable:

- `org-html-checkbox-types' :: A constant defining the output for
unicode (entity), ascii, and html (form) versions of the
checkboxes.
- `org-html-checkbox-type' :: A customizable variable defining
which version of the above to use. The default is "ascii",
which should result in backwards compatible output.

Here's the output i get for your list above (using the default ascii
option):

<ul class="org-ul">
<li class="off"><code>[&#xa0;]</code> checkbox
</li>
<li>item
</li>
</ul>

which seems correct to me.
