Parser problems in 1.12 with ordered lists (another cry for help ; -) )

Hi there,

at the end of

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilfe:Listen

you can find an example for an ordered list interspersed with a simple
text line and with a new new starting number.

Wiki-text is

..............................
# eins
# zwei
Zwischenüberschrift od. Leerzeile
#<li value="3"> drei</li>
# vier
..............................

and will/should lead to

..............................
~   1. eins
~   2. zwei

Zwischenüberschrift od. Leerzeile

~   3. drei
~   4. vier
..............................



In our old MS 1.9.3 we got instead:

..............................
~   1.  eins
~   2. zwei

Zwischenüberschrift od. Leerzeile

~   1.
~   3. drei
~   4. vier
..............................


So we have decided to test it in a fresh installed and empty MW 1.12.0
- - with the same result!!

In de.wikipedia.org (1.13.alpha) it works fine.

So my question: What's wrong?

What I saw in HTML souce code was:

<ol>
<li> eins</li>
<li> zwei</li>
</ol>
<p>Zwischenüberschrift od. Leerzeile</p>
<ol>
<li> <li value="3"> drei</li> </li>
<li> vier</li>
</ol>

So why the second ordered list comes with a double <li> tag where
1.13.Alpha (de.wikipedia.org) shows correct:

<ol>
<li>eins</li>
<li>zwei</li>
</ol>
<p>Zwischenüberschrift od. Leerzeile</p>
<ol>
<li value="3">drei</li>
<li>vier</li>
</ol>

No it shouldn't.

Because on de.wikipedia.org, Tidy is cleaning up MediaWiki's incorrect
HTML output in such a way that it appears that MediaWiki has this feature.
MediaWiki does not have this feature, and if it did, the syntax would be
different.

The fact that MediaWiki is producing invalid HTML is a bug. When the bug
is fixed, this apparent feature will disappear.
