That's true, but it does not matter locally. Both Times/Gentium give
the problem, also Geneva CY and Helvetica CY and Code2000.

I am running 1.9.

I have the latest ledmac/ledpar, about Babel I don't know.

It did not help, but I did find an easier example which causes the
problem too. No ledmac/ledpar, nor babel involved.

If I change the line with \item to \item[-] or \item[*] the spurious
output disappears, otherwise it looks like:
