That is a good question, I don't know. It fails for me as well in 
the org-sparse-tree, but not in the agenda. In the agenda it only 
shows Item 1 and Subitem 1, as it should. I had never used the 
sparse tree, it might by what it is supposed to do, perhaps it 
shows by default all entries up to a certain level. Hopefully 
someone can answer, if not perhaps a new thread with just that 
issue could serve as a bug report.
