LaTeX exporter doesn't treats these as identical. What happens is that
in your example, the first item is correct and the list is thus set as
a description list. As such, LaTeX exporter tries hard to fill
description terms for every item in the list. If you exchange the first
and second items in your example, the list will be exported as
a standard itemize list in LaTeX.
For HTML (and DocBook) exporter, this is a little different, and term
recognition is hard-coded there. I will modify that.

Your patch allows items like:
- term ::description
which are not valid for a description list.
