You can just modify subject with [PATCH], as I did.

Sure.

It does not fully represent what is going on - Org parser is top-down
and does not parse objects before it is done parsing the descriptive
list item. So,
- *foo :: bar* does not actually contain bold markup
Rather it is "* foo" tag + "bar* does not actually contain bold markup" description.
What happens is that the parser splits the first line of the item by the
last " :: " and only then proceeds with parsing the tag and description
using standard set of objects:
- <....> :: <text not containing :: >
