Hello,

I see. This behaviour is documented in `org-element-at-point' docstring:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
As a special case, if point is at the very beginning of a list or
sub-list, returned element will be that list instead of the first
item.  In the same way, if point is at the beginning of the first
row of a table, returned element will be the table instead of the
first row.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It means that if point is at the very beginning of the list, it will try
to move the whole list. Since there is nothing after the list, it
returns an error.

In order to drag the first item, you have to move one character forward,
or use `org-element-down' in order to "enter" the list.
