I assume from your code that you are trying to copy over elements from one document to another. I really think the Google Apps Scripts lacks a lot of functionality - and it shows strange behaviours.

From what I have identified the call to appendListItem resets the glyphType. I found that this (sort of) works, when listItem is a list item copied from another document:

// Appending the list item to the body breaks the glyph type.
glyphType = listItem.getGlyphType();
body.appendListItem(listItem);
listItem.setGlyphType(glyphType);
