Why does latex throw an error, when using the itemize environment.

I would like to use itemize in a \cventry of the koma-moderncvclassic package, but latex throws the error: 

Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item. \begin{itemize}

Here, a minimal example to retrace the situation:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
% cv title
\renewcommand*{\title}{Curriculum Vitae}
\newcommand*{\firstname}{Max}
\newcommand*{\familyname}{Muster}
\newcommand*{\acadtitle}{* tt.mm.yyyy}
% load cv package
\usepackage{koma-moderncvclassic}
\begin{document}
\maketitle

\section{Education}
\cventry{year--year}{Degree}{Institution}{City}{\textit{Grade}}{Description}

\newpage

\section{Experience}
\cventry{year--year}{Job title}{Employer}{City}{}{General description.\newline{}%
    Detailed achievements:%
    \begin{itemize}%
        \item Achievement 1;
\end{itemize}}

\end{document}

Without the \newpage or \maketitle command, the error vanishes. Does anybody have a good idea to overcome this issue?

The answer is simple. If \newpage is replaced by \pagebreak the error vanishes.

For the difference of these commands see Post \pagebreak vs \newpage.
