I don't see any bug. Blank lines after a plain list still belong to the
plain list, so `org-in-item-p' is correct.

Indeed, `org-end-of-item-list' moves to the end of the last item instead
of the very end of the list, but I consider it to be a feature, e.g.,
when you need to exchange two items in the list.

You may want to explain what is bothering you in this results. Also,
I suggest to use `org-element-at-point' instead.

Regards,
