itemize: Work around gtk2 brokenness

GTK 2 apparently manages to call pango_itemize_with_base_dir
with a non-zero length for a string that contains 0 characters.
That in turn causes pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels to
return NULL, and things go downhill from there.

A test is included.

Fixes: #480

(cherry-picked from commit 279bd525)
