Sorry, had to come in on this - LI is one of those tags where the end
/LI tag is listed as optional in HTML 4.  So it's OK to have a /LI tag
at the end of the list item.  In fact, if you want to nest lists inside
lists it's advisable to use the corresponding /LI tags to keep
everything straight.

The validation error above must have been as a result of using a BR tag
inside a list (eg UL or OL) but outside of opening and closing LI /LI
tags.  Eg:

<ul>
<li>list item one</li>
<br>
<li>list item two</li>
</ul>

Instead, what you should do is:

<ul>
<li>list item one<br><br></li>
<li>list item two</li>
</ul>
