[...] For an item to contain block-level content

I assume this rule applies only to *list* items? Given that e.g. block quoted text does not show the problem I demonstrated.

it must be separated by a blank line from the previous or the next item (it must not be the sole item in the list), or it must contain one or more blank line.

Okay, so the following should not start block quoting (which it does):

      * bla bla
        > bla bla

Is the rule defined somewhere? and if so, what is the rationale?

I find the need for additional lines around list items irritating because then that list item will get wrapped in `<p>…</p>` making it visually stand out. A common problem when working with nested block level constructs (including just nested lists.)

Also, I take it that a list item not wrapped in `<p>…</p>` or containing block level constructs is itself not considered a block level thing, seeing how nested lists defy your rule.

[...] when inside a list item this question makes sense. So I'll reformulate your code sample like this [...] And I get a list item inside the blockquote just as you expected

The point of my example was to show the inconsistency.
