Also, it tries to use the CSS list-style-type to try to specify lowercase letters + roman numerals, which just doesn't work well on ereaders.

Thanks for the info, it helped me a lot in understanding what is going on. Meantime I found that when I Download Google Doc as EPUB, then Open it in Calibre and pust "Convert ebook" button here, Save the autoconverted .epub file and open it in Sigil, it looks almost perfect (only some issues to polish like left indent of numbered lists, big space above subhead paragraphs...; I hope it could be done automatically by some rule in HTML).
I use Moon+ Reader for Android to read ebooks and this application can display "original formatting". So it can displays the document the same way as Sigil, with all the bullets and numbers. But for some reason it can display only one chapter at a time in this mode so to "turn page" to another part of the document, you need to switch to "normal" view, open chapter and switch to "original formatting" again. A little bit frustrating.
