Using \small in a list in a cvline causes extra space at the bottom of the list

[DAMO238]

The following code snippet will generate the cvline as expected, but does not account for the smaller font in the list:

\cvline{Blah}{\small \begin{itemize}

\item first item
\item second item
\item last item

\end{itemize}}

%Extra stuff down here to make the gap obvious

Update: This gap appears regardless of the \small

Update: The gap size is exactly one line's worth, as putting in some text after the list but in the cvline does not shift anything around.
