Description

Intention:
Add an image gallery at the top of a section.

Steps to Reproduce:

Open a page that has a list at the top of the section.

Place your cursor at the top of the list, and Insert > Gallery.

Actual Results:
The bullet remains visible. The text of the list item is on the next line, but indented.

However, when you save, the list formatting (the asterisk at the start of the line) has been removed.

Expected Results:
The gallery would be inserted before the list. That is,

List item

would turn into

<gallery>File:Example.jpg
File:Example2.jpg</gallery>

* List item

instead of into

 <gallery>File:Example.jpg
File:Example2.jpg</gallery>List item

(Notice the stray space at the start of the line.)

Reproducible: Always

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

This sort of happens if you insert a references list, which gives you this:

<references />List item

but not for images, math, templates, etc.

Unlike legacy parser which breaks the list (T11996), Parsoid well supports <gallery> inside list item: wikitext-to-html seems to work correctly.
However, this bug seems to indicate there is an issue with html-to-wiktext, since VisualEditor rendering is correct:

<li id="mwBQ" class="ve-ce-branchNode">
  <div class="ve-ce-branchNode-slug ve-ce-branchNode-blockSlug">…</div>
  <ul class="ve-ce-branchNode gallery ve-ce-focusableNode">
    <li class="ve-ce-branchNode gallerybox">
      <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px; height: 150px;">…</div>
      <a href="#" class="oo-ui-element-hidden">…</a>
      <div class="ve-ce-branchNode ve-ce-activeNode gallerytext">…</div>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <p class="ve-ce-branchNode ve-ce-contentBranchNode ve-ce-paragraphNode ve-ce-generated-wrapper">List item</p>
</li>

which should be parsed as

* <gallery>
…
</gallery> List item
