Renamed the bug to indicate the cause and summarizing issue:

Horizontal lists are malformed on Special: pages because Tidy does not process
these pages. Specifically, the lists lack a breakable character betweeen list
items, causing the browsers to fail to wrap the list properly. While
technically valid HTML, hlist depends on something breakable between list
items.

I see two solutions:

1. Have Tidy process any Special: pages that transclude any (part of) user
editable pages (such as MediaWiki: messages)

2. I have a patch ready for gerrit that makes parser.php terminate any closing
list element with a linebreak.

Personally, I prefer the second option; it removes hlist's dependancy on Tidy
(doing so may even lessen the load on Tidy in general). But I also feel that
Tidy should process any (transcluded) user content, even on non-user generated
pages.
