Indeed. It does seem that something like
\begin{itemize}
\item[AAAA $$E=mc^2$$ BBB] This is the main par.
\end{itemize}
or other variations around the same idea fail. Why is that?
I think this is a symptom of the argument of \item[] being in LR mode
(ie when latex goes left-to-right without possible line breaks). It
seems that displayed insets are not allowed in these modes. The same
holds for \mbox (try \mbox{a\[E=mc^2\] BBB}) and probably for tabular
cells that do not have a fixed width (did not try it).
However, this does not make the said code a good solution. I think we
should try to have some screen notation (like striking in red the
inset) to display insets that are not properly used (the same holds
when someone manages to add a footnote in a place where it should not
be).
The problem here is that we do not have a way to say that some piece of
paragraph is actually in LR mode.
Note that this is a different problem than the fact that one cannot
insert a graphics inset in the label of a paragraph. The later is
related to not escaping the ']' character of \includegraphics
parameter.
