Sorry, yeah, I committed a change yesterday that should fix this problem.
I forced all of the =item tags to descriptions.  pod2man wouldn't warn
about the first one since it would take that as the sign that this was a
numeric list, but some POD translators might mangle it into "1." because
they do automatic renumbering.

It shouldn't matter where the Z<> is put as long as it's there somewhere.
Putting C<> around the number would also work, although that also changes
the formatting.
