That sounds on the right track though I think it must be looking for a 
{first} element of a <para> in a <listitem>, since putting an any 
element containing any other element at the beginning of a <para> in a 
<listitem> exhibits this weird behavior for me, though these process 
just fine when the given <para> is not inside a <listitem>.  However, I 
haven't yet figured out where in not-wholly-obvious (to me, at least) 
EDD syntax my problem is originating.  It must be some strange 
interaction, since I though I understood what most of the rules 
governing <para> and <listitem> in my EDD were doing ... evidently not!

Cheers,
Carl
