[texhax] texhax Digest, Vol 2009, Issue 378

[hh]

Hello,
you go to displayed (and centered) math directly after the item 
command (which does not need a {}), which will IMHO not be written at 
the same height as the item symbol, but below.  Further you want the 
hsize bigger than normal. I would think that your not augmented  
hsize might yet be the same as the original \textwidth (augment  
\linewidth, if that  is tolerated), so to make it bigger gives an 
impossible wide vbox.

I would try the following:

\item $\displaystyle ... $
or even
\item \hfil $\displaystyle   ...$ to center it on the available 
horizontal space.
