Bullet points in cut tags?

Title:
Bullet points in cut tags?

Area:
entries

Summary:
Trying to put a cut tag on text that includes bullets breaks the formatting of the post really badly, this seems like it should be fixed

Description:
I wrote a post including a section with bullet points, then tried to cut tag most of the body of the post, including the bulleted section. Only the part above the bullets was actually behind a cut in the published post, there were extra broken html tags showing (</div>), and it took a lot of beating on it and hunting in the html for tags to delete (and turning off the bullets), and moving the </cut> tag to get the post to work correctly again.

ETA: Since I seem to have phrased this less clearly than I intended, what I tried to cut was formatted like this:
 

Blah blah wolf wolf.

  • One
  • Two
  • Three

Wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

The cut only took 'Blah blah wolf wolf.', and left a </cut> tag hanging out after 'wimey.'

Is this a case of having multiple bullet points [ex. 15] and wanting to cut 13 of the 15? If so, I've been doing that for quite some time without breaking the layout or anything.

The way I do it is this...
<ul>
<li>Blah
<li><cut text="3 more under the cut">Blah
<li>Blah
<li>Blah</cut>
</ul>

Doing it that way, it shows the first bullet point like normal, then the second shows your little bullet icon [or number, as it works the same way with ordered lists], followed by the cut text.

Oh, okay. Hmm... Not sure how to do that. I've probably done multiple cuts in the past in that case...
