Hi Alessandro, this is fine indeed to put a dot in 
the table of contents headings: 
if you *also* want the dot  in the chapter headings from the
document body, then it is more natural to modify the
\renewcommand{\thechapter}:


\renewcommand{\thechapter}{\Roman{chapter}.\ }

(I actually wanted a tilde rather than \ put my webmail interface
somehow swallows it)

if you do that, then you don't need \mynumberline

\addtocontents{toc}{\let\protect\numberline\relax}

will do.
