Neither,
UL's are block elements and as such not allowed within a PRE block. Therefore 
the above testcase is invalid HTML.
Netscape's behaviour is definately more fault-tolerant, it renders the page 
most probably as the author intended.
KHTML doesn't do it wrong, it ignores the list elements and just renders the 
text, it could as well just display nothing. But agreed, at least the 
linebreaks should be kept.

To kfm-devel: Is it desirable to adopt Netscape's way and add yet another 
broken-html-compatibility kludge or should it remain as is?
