Even though it is surprising, this is not an issue. The thing is macros

However, this is then parsed as the first numbered item of a plain list,

Thanks for the explanation. That does make sense. The MWE was a little example I wanted to document for myself for this new feature. So this example doesn't show a real world use of that macro. 

IOW, there is not much we can do. You may want to insert a zero-width
space between the macro and the dot.

It just so happened that autofilling ended up with a number followed by a period at the BOL. So I couldn't have planned inserting a zero-width space before the dot. 

So this makes me think of the use of auto-filling in my regular org files... What if auto-filling happened to create a case like this where a line began with a number immediately followed by a period?! Though ending sentences with a number is rare, I just need to be cautious about this.
