The expected behavior in most word processors (Word and OpenOffice) is that the user can unindent (shift-tab) only to get to the initial list indent level but it should not actually delete the bulleting/numbering itself when you to the end. In VisualEditor, unindenting once too many times can remove the initial bullet/number entirely. This becomes particularly annoying when (because of the behavior described in bug 48051) you accidentally split a list into two lists which can't be fixed clicking the list button again to re-add the bullet/number.

This was a deliberate choice, though I can't remember why (it was over a year ago that this was implemented). We should reconsider. > This becomes particularly annoying when (because of the behavior described in > bug 48051) you accidentally split a list into two lists which can't be fixed > clicking the list button again to re-add the bullet/number. "Undo" fixes that instantly, of course.

I wasn't trying to say that it is unfixable. I was just pointing out that the current list behavior means that the way most(?) people might naturally try to correct losing their bulleting/numbering would only compound the error. ("Undo" fixes almost anything, of course, except frustration and time wasted.)
