Try this:

** TODO x
   - [ ] x1
   - [ ] x2
     - [ ] x2.1

Set the region to the checkbox lines, then do C-c C-*. The result is:

** TODO x
*** [ ] x1
*** [ ] x2
*** [ ] x2.1

If you set a macro to do each line individually and move down, you 
instead get:

** TODO x
*** [ ] x1
**** [ ] x2
***** [ ] x2.1

I would regard the correct conversion to be:

** TODO x
*** [ ] x1
*** [ ] x2
**** [ ] x2.1

I'm using Emacs 23.1.3 and org-mode 6.21b.
