Well, orgalist already "takes control" over indent-line-function and
indent-according-to-mode via advice, and the latter advice seems to
assume that indent-line-function is set to the default indent-relative
or indent-relative-first-indent-point.

Yes. :) I think the patch I proposed in my previous email should be
applied to orgalist, as a first step at the very least.
