The problem isn't that \steponce (or \step) doesn't nest, but that what
you ask for/get isn't correct latex - an \item is always missing.

The following (simpler example) compiles:

\liststepwise*{
  \begin{itemize}
    \step{\item dazu den Knopf "`Neu"' bzw. "`Optionen"' w"ahlen}
    \step{\item Die obere Dialogh"alfte
      \step{%
      \begin{description}
        \item[Kontobezeichnung:] Name f"ur das Konto
        \step{\item[Kontonummer:] dieht allein der Sortierung; mehr
          Bedeutung bei echten Kontenrahmen}
      \end{description}
      }
    }
  \end{itemize}
}

Yes, I know this isn't what you want. To get your example to work, you
just need to get *the logic right* Maybe this is what you want:

\liststepwise*{
  \begin{itemize}
    \steponce{\item dazu den Knopf "`Neu"' bzw. "`Optionen"' w"ahlen}
    \step{\item Die obere Dialogh"alfte
      \begin{description}
        \restep[][\boolean{firstactivation}]{\item[Kontobezeichnung:] Name f"ur das Konto}
        \steponce{\item[Kontonummer:] dieht allein der Sortierung; mehr
          Bedeutung bei echten Kontenrahmen}
      \end{description}
    }
  \end{itemize}
}

If the itemize had had more than two items it had been even harder to get
the logic right. I think what you must remember is that anything inside
\steponce is actually shown only once :-)

PS! Please don't use environments that are not standard. (I guess you're
    using paralist or something similar.)
