I noticed this issue again when calling `org-element-at-point` with
point before the stars in 

,----
| ** [#A] whatsup :mytag:it:
| hello world
`----

in an emacs-lisp-mode buffer - it results in:

,----
| (paragraph (:begin 193 :end 246 :contents-begin 206 :contents-end 245
| :post-blank 1 :post-affiliated 206 ...))
`----

so it kind-of works outside org major-mode, but not correctly due to
character-class problem in the regexp(s).

PS

My org-mode is up to date

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (call-interactively 'org-version)
#+END_SRC

#+results:
: Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-277-g698705 @
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/lisp/)
