Hi,
the maintainer of the Debian org-mode package referred me to this list for my bug report.
Best regards, Josef.

* Only way I can explain why the "3rd output is different from the 1st and
2nd":
You unwittingly placed a <Tab> character after the "::" on the 3rd row--and
you look at it and you believe its a <Space> character.
* Suggest you open it up in VI and do ":set list"--is there a "^I"
character there?
** Better yet, open the file up and use whitespace-mode in Emacs.
** Also suggest you use the POSIX compliant form for regular expressions
whenever possible--i.e. use [:blank:] when you mean " " and "[:space:]"
when you mean whitespace--that way its harder to fool yourself, and others
that read your code.

Dear briangpowell,
there is definitely a space in the third line.
Also, it does not simply produce no output, it says "No link found".
Plus, when I change it to a numbered list starting with 1., 2., 3. .... it works.
I have also run this with my .emacs file disabled, so it cannot be my
option settings.
Are you sure you use the same emacs and org-mode version as I do?
I use
emacs 46.1
emacs24 24.5+1-6+b1
org-mode 8.3.3-3
What else could it be that makes our systems behave differently?
Best regards,
Josef.

This is not a bug. - .... :: *is* description list syntax, no matter how
you look at it. You can easily work around this, e.g., by starting the
link on the next line.

Count me confused - although the OP is talking about unnumbered lists,
his example only has headlines and numbered lists. Is the link broken
when in the headline or only when it's an unnumbered list item?

IIUC, the OP is using unnumbered lists with an asterisk bullet. Hence,
the problem is probably limited to unnumbered lists, not headlines.

* Since your situation, is one like this: "This is not a bug. - .... ::
*is* description list syntax"--i.e. you are grep-ing for what Emacs
Org-Mode is seeing as a "description list"; and, this is "by design"
e.g.:
* Lord of the Rings
- Elijah Wood :: He plays Frodo
- Sean Astin :: He plays Sam, Frodo's friend. I still remember
him very well from his role as Mikey Walsh in The Goonies.
** In such a case: I reiterate my earlier suggestion--and my opinion is one
should always strive to do it this way too--its POSIX compliant--its easier
to read and you won't run into inconsistencies in your code:
Suggest you do it this way instead: Use "POSIX character classes"
like [:blank:] whenever possible--so in this case you could try to do
something like this (you'd have to test it yourself--if you're still
interested--again my environment throws no error exceptions):
** In your shell:
export BLANK="[[:blank:]]"
** Then load your Emacs OrgMode buffer as you did before; and, try
something like this instead:
* [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :"]]
* [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf ::"]]
* [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf$BLANK::$BLANK]]
--again, this all worked for me--but they all worked for me before too
while yours failed
** Say, anyone no how to do something like this:
export PIPE="|"
* [[shell:cat ~/tmp $PIPE grep "asdf ::"]]
---I mean, does anyone know how to use some other character or whatever
instead of "|" within the "[[...]]"?---I often find myself wanting to
insert a pipe in there and then put the whole thing in an OrgTable
cell--but we all know "|" is the cell divider in OrgMode
** Or does anyone know how to easily change the OrgTable cell barrier to a
key other than "|"? (then I could freely use the "|" in an OrgTable cell)

Well, one could also say [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :: "]] is link
syntax, no matter how you look at it. It is a question of precedence.
I think it is more obvious to interpret
* [[ ... :: ... ]] ....
as a link syntax rather than a descrition list entry.
But even if the * .... :: syntax takes precedence, then the folowing
should work, I think, but it does not.
* test :: [[shell:cat ~/tmp | grep "asdf :: "]]
If I klick on the link, I still get the errror message "No link found".
Best regards,
Josef.

Of course. I'm just telling you how Org sees it.

It's less interesting because it implies backtracking. Anyway, as said
previously, just put your link on the line below, and the problem is
solved.

This is because tag matches to the last "::" in the line. Without that,
you cannot have "::" in a tag.
