That FO output looks fine, so I am pretty sure it is Passivetex
problem. But I can't reproduce in my environment because
Passivetex fails with the test doc I'm trying with
("! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item."
error).

I would be happy to try testing with your source if you want to
send a copy to me. But it does seem to be a Passivetex problem,
and the only way I personally have ever found for dealing with
Passivetex problems is to change the markup in your source to try
to work around them.

To get PDF output using an open-source toolchain, you might want
to give dblatex a try -
