Strange, I am getting {lll}, with no vertical lines on either outside.
Ah, you have org-export-latex-tables-column-borders turned on.
Yes, there was a bug, fixed now. Thanks!

This is how Bastien designed it, and it is similar to the HTML way,
turning these into lists. It works fine if there is any text before
the plain list bullets.
Do you have a better proposal?

I am unable to reproduce this, works fine for me.

Yes, guess we could have global macros, and also macros that expand
depending on exporter type. I have not though much about it, maybe
