Please let me know if you have a better workaround.
This doesn't necessarily negate your argument for making it easier,
but the below does more-or-less what you're after:
# This is the first list item, first paragraph <br/> This is the first
list item, second paragraph <pre>Here is some preformatted text with
the first list item</pre> <pre>Here is the rest of the preformatted
text</pre>
# This is the second list item (numbered as 2)
[Note that that's all typed on two lines] Another variant (typed onto
three lines) has the side effect of indenting the second paragraph:
# This is the first list item, first paragraph
#: This is the first list item, second paragraph <pre>Here is some
preformatted text with the first list item</pre> <pre>Here is the rest
of the preformatted text</pre>
# This is the second list item (numbered as 2)
Without the <pre> sections (which behave rather oddly), you can play
around a bit more with #: (indent as part of same list item) and #*
(non-numbered list within numbered-list item), but both have their
side effects. Perhaps we could do with an extra token, e.g. #! which
said "consider this paragraph part of the previous list item"
(correspondingly, *! would add a paragraph without a bullet in an
unnumbered list). How this would interact with the seeming tendency of
<pre> to act as a block-level element, I'm not sure.
