Hi Ben,
you correctly analyzed that this has something to do with the space
character after the the dot. Org considers a number with a dot as an
ordered list bullet only if it is followed by a space character.
Otherwise, any number like 1.23 at the beginning of a line would be
considered a bullet.
The reason why Bernt could not reproduce it is because you use `org-
cycle-include-plain-lists' (you forgot to mention that...) and he
probably does not.
