This is simply because code blocks and the content of a list item  
with block-level content are denoted by the same thing: four space of  
indentation. To be able to create list items with block-level  
content, it is necessary to interpret indented content after a list  
item as the continuation of the content of that particular item. This  
creates the impossibility to create a code block immediately  
following a list, but the other option would be the impossibility of  
having block-level content (like paragraphs) inside a list item.

This has been reported a couple of time already. The current  
workaround is to insert an HTML comment, unindented, between the list  
and the code block. That's clearly not optimal however.
