The bulleted paragraphs are in the file as a <text:list-item>, but they are not inside a 
<text:list> element as required.

My Scrivener (2.7 on Mac OS X) does export the <text:list> with <text:list-item>s inside it, but it 
also puts its own bullet before each paragraph so that they now have 2 bullets each in the ODT file!
