I have pushed a fix for this. Hope the new behaviour is according to
your expectation.

For the sake of record, your request is much similar to what is
discussed here
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-12/msg00780.html -
save for (dynamically-generated) images taking the place of src blocks.

Try something like this:

#+begin_list-table
- [[./foo1.png]]
  - [[./foo2.png]]
#+end_list-table

Make sure that the images are "small" images. If you replace the image
links above with R srcblocks or attach caption/attr_odt to the above
above images, the results are less than satisfactory. So the answer to
your question is a "soft" no.

Notes to self:

There are multiple ways to achieve side-by-side effect.
- use tables (aka "list tables")
- use 2-Column sections 
- 2-column frames (what is this?)

"side-by-side" has surfaced in the list for the second time, I think it
deserves to be supported "out of the box".
