My reading of the Docbook spec is that listitem can contain one or more 
para, itemizedlist, or orderedlist elements (among others), which is 
what the example instance does.  I got this information from 
"http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/listitem.html".  They list the content 
model as:

listitem ::=
((calloutlist|glosslist|itemizedlist|orderedlist|segmentedlist|
   simplelist|variablelist|caution|important|note|tip|warning|
   literallayout|programlisting|programlistingco|screen|screenco|
   screenshot|synopsis|cmdsynopsis|funcsynopsis|classsynopsis|
   fieldsynopsis|constructorsynopsis|destructorsynopsis|
   methodsynopsis|formalpara|para|simpara|address|blockquote|
   graphic|graphicco|mediaobject|mediaobjectco|informalequation|
   informalexample|informalfigure|informaltable|equation|example|
   figure|table|msgset|procedure|sidebar|qandaset|productionset|
   constraintdef|anchor|bridgehead|remark|highlights|abstract|
   authorblurb|epigraph|indexterm|beginpage)+)

Could you elaborate why you think my example document would not be valid 
DocBook?  Thanks,

Matt
