Table cells with bullet lists? With multiple lines incl. empty lines?

I’d like to have a table where one of the s contains a

    . I
    haven’t yet succeeded and would like help with that.

    Also, how would one have a containing/spanning multiple lines, if I
    want one of them to be empty?

    On http://redcloth.org/ and with my own 4.2.2 I’ve tried:

    This table renders with '*'s, but not as a bullet list. Why?

    |.t11|.t12|
    |t12

    • with
    • a bullet
    • list|t2|

    Simple, Working table:

    |.t11|.t12|
    |t21|t2|

    Works with several lines:

    |.t11|.t12|
    |t21 works
    with
    several
    lines|t2|

    Doesn’t work:

    |.t11|.t12|
    |t12
    with

    several

    lines|t2|

    How can I get that to work? I suspect this is why bullets don’t work in

    's, as perhaps the bullet list needs to be followed by an empty line. Is that right?
