The following question came up on Stack Overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9051330/possible-bug-in-org-mode= -export-of-item-with

The following sample org file does not export as possibly expected.
=
,-------------------------------------------
| #+TITLE: Bug? =
| #+OPTIONS: *:nil toc:nil author:nil
|
| - hello (*) I would like = to have two items
| - may (*) I please?
`-----= --------------------------------------

Instead of the two items bein= g listed with (*) as a part of their
items they are placed on a single line as though they were still being
w= rapped in bold tags. I tested this further and it occurs in LaTeX,
HTML= and ODT exports. ASCII does the right thing and exports it as
two list= items.

HTML:
,-------------------------------------------------------------= ---------
| <ul> =
| <li>hello (*) I would like to have two items - m= ay (*) I please?
| </li> =
| </ul> =
`--------------------------------------------------------------= --------

LaTeX:
,------------------------------------------------------------= -------
| \begin{itemize} =
| \item hello (*) I would like to have two items - may (*) I please= ?
| \end{itemize}
`--= -----------------------------------------------------------------

Is= this the expected behaviour when *:nil is set on export? I know
you ca= n simply escape the *'s as \* to get the desired result (both
with and without *:nil). However it does seem odd to me that it will
in= sert the *s as expected in the export, while at the same time keep
the t= ext wrapping that *[...]* creates for bold-face purposes.
