Most certainly you do not want it, since it is an outer displayed-math environment.
AMSmath provides other methods for inner alignment, but you many have to fiddle with
the exact vertical placement.
e.g. here are 3 different solutions using sets of parameters to adjust the spacing:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
\begin{align*}
2x+3y&=4\\
3x-4y&=12
\end{align*}
\item
\hspace{.5cm}\lower.65\baselineskip\hbox{$\begin{aligned}
2x+3y&=4\\
3x-4y&=12
\end{aligned}$}
\item
\hspace{.5cm}\xy*!D(.125)\xybox{\xymatrix @R=0pt @C=0pt {
2x+3y&=&4\\
3x-4y&=&12
}}\endxy
\item
\hspace{.5cm}\xy*+!U(2.75)\xybox{$\begin{aligned}
2x+3y&=4\\
3x-4y&=12
\end{aligned}$}\endxy
\end{enumerate}

Hope this helps,
