That is an interesting and subtle point.

When one look at circulate.scm, he sees:

(set-structured-variants
...
  ("itemize" "enumerate")
  ("itemize-minus" "itemize-dot" "itemize-arrow")
  ("enumerate-numeric" "enumerate-roman" "enumerate-Roman"
   "enumerate-alpha" "enumerate-Alpha")
...

There is a separation between logical lists (which are displayed
diffently depending on the nesting level) and physical lists (which
specify one hardwired display style), so one cannot use the default
structured variants to change a logical list to a physical list (or
the other way).

If for some reason you want to be able to do it anyway, you may add
the following code to your ~/.TeXmacs/progs/my-init-texmacs.scm (also
read the "Customizing TeXmacs" section of the manual):

(set-structured-variants
  ("itemize" "itemize-dot" "itemize-minus" "itemize-arrow")
  ("enumerate" "enumerate-numeric" "enumerate-roman" "enumerate-Roman"
   "enumerate-alpha" "enumerate-Alpha"))

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
