The part I just realized is that in a checklist, the checkbox (checked or not) is the list marker, so if you leave the checkbox out, you’ll get an unmarked list item, as observed.

If you want an item to have a checkbox, either checked or unchecked, you must use the checkbox syntax. Otherwise, it's treated as a normal list item.
So it needs to look like this:
* [x] Checklist Item 6
* [x] Checklist Item 7
** [x] Checklist Item 7.1
** [x] Checklist Item 7.2
** [ ] List Item 7.3
** [ ] List Item 7.4
* [ ] List Item 8
In other words, the language allows you to mix checklist items with non-checklist items.
