display: inline-block makes the link behave like a rectangle, no "part" of the link element can "wrap" or leave its boundary.

I can think of that 1) the padding remains on the preceding line without painting tha background-color or 2) sticks out of the line box into the "bullet area" of the li and gets cropped or 3) simply vanishes into thin air.

The "question why" is hard to answer:

possible related to the problem you encountered are multi-line link problems:

to cut a long story short: sorry, I have no idea why or how
