This is fixed, sort of, with the new Pod::Simple-based pod2man that will
be in the next major Perl release. I say sort of because it arguably goes
too far the other direction -- if it gets what looks like a numbered list,
it ignores the actual numbers and does the numbering itself. This part of
the parsing is taken over by Pod::Simple, so pod2man itself doesn't have a
direct say on it. (Pod::Simple offers a lot of other nice features plus
the long-term potential of sane i18n handling.)
