The problem here is that the [6.] is a _replacement_ label for that \item.
That is, the "6." replaces the "Art. \arabic{enumi}" so one ugly way to
fix it is to write:
[Art. 6]\setcounter{enumi}{6}
instead. Like I said its getting uglier by the minute. If we could
shoehorn a line of raw LaTeX in between the \begin{enumerate} and the
first \item it'd be so much simpler. This is definitely on my TODO list
but if anyone else wants to have a go they are welcome since I've also got
gui-indep work to catch up on.
It may be possible to use two versions of labelenumi but I can't quite
think of a way to do that at present. What I would suggest is that you
take a look at enumerate.sty which has a number of very nice features not
least of which is the ability to easily modify the enumeration settings
(like your custom "Art. x"). I can't remember if it allows for broken
enumerations or not though so we may still be stuck but it does have good
documentation and several examples.
