Parsoid's handling seems reasonable to me. Should this be declined as a known difference?

Parsoid's behavior is not just reasonable but preferable. (See also T223277: List embedded in description list <dd> (descriptions) causes LISTGAP issues (old Parser only; does not affect Parsoid) which I think is the same bug identified for Parser.php or close enough to it.)
