Ordered/unordered lists in instruction field

I just installed VFB 2.7.8 and am trying to recreate an existing form from the (non-WP) site from which I’m migrating.

I’d really like to use a numbered list in the instructions, as this is an authorization form and there are a number of terms (six) to which the user is agreeing. However, when I enter the code for the list in the instructions field, no numbers (or bullets, if I make it an unordered list) actually show up in the form. The list items are separated correctly and they’re indented (and if I look at the page source, I can see the list tags, so they’re not being stripped), but there are no numbers even if I try to add an inline list-style-type property to the list. It’s frustrating because this form is otherwise about done.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!
