It is a unwanted side effect I did not consider. I puppose the reason is,
that the (for you annoying) extra space between list elements is not
inserted at the end of a page.
One solution could be to set only the space above to a negative value (I did
not check what happens for the fist item), or may be split the negative
value to half above half below.
The other solution would be to set the extra space back
to zero for the last item on a page.(not very clever, becouse you have to
find out what where the pagebreak is and this may also change if more text
is inserted)
maybe there is also a change to find out the name of the itemsep in the list
environment. then it could be changed analog to enumerate or itemize. (But I
dont know)
