I can confirm this with:

: Org-mode version 7.01trans (release_7.01h.514.g878d)
: GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.0)
:  of 2010-08-14 on raven, modified by Debian

it appears the nested lists within an item that is to continue makes
all remaining text within that item disappear.  I actually had this
problem three days ago with a very large document in which whole
sections disappeared but, as it was 3am, I thought it was me doing
something silly.

if the line after the nested list is not indented, it appears in the
exported file albeit not part of the enumerated list.

However, more strange behaviour appears as soon as you have multiple
nested lists.  Consider this org snippet:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Consider the following list:

1. the first numbered item
   - the first item
   - the second
   - not the fourth

   followed by some paragraph that is indented which disappears on latex export.

   - another nested list but this appears in the outer list
   - as does this!

   and some more text which does appear.

and now something that is not indented.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

this generates:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Consider the following list:

\begin{itemize}
\item the first numbered item

\begin{itemize}
\item the first item
\item the second
\item not the fourth
\end{itemize}

\item another nested list but this appears in the outer list
\item as does this

   and some more text which does appear.
\end{itemize}

and now something that is not indented.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

notice that the outer list is itemize and not enumerate.

I have these same settings.
