Thank you for the explanations. I appreciate your improvements in
correctness of parsing and interpreting the Org structure.

Oh, and only now I see that, as your improvements exclude the item
bullet from filling, C-c and M-q (org-fill-paragraph) now leave the
manual alignment of the description in description lists untouched.
This is nice, it helps me as shown in my new post here:

"alignment of description list in Org and export old and new"

Because I need to fill list items so often and when I am on column 0
of the bullet line, I start to override M-q at least until maybe the
community decides that this old behaviour of M-q should be restored:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'my-org-bind-M-q)
  (defun my-org-bind-M-q ()
    (define-key org-mode-map "\M-q" 'my-org-fill-paragraph))
  (defun my-org-fill-paragraph ()
    (interactive)
    (if (and (org-in-item-p) (not mark-active))
        (save-excursion
          ;; must deal also with:
          ;;   - cmd --log-level=wrn -o DST SRC ::
          ;;                               description
          ;;        for long term
          ;; or:
          ;;   - cmd --log-level=wrn -o DST SRC
          ;;                            :: description
          ;;        for long term
          (org-end-of-item)
          (backward-char)
          (org-fill-paragraph))
      (org-fill-paragraph)))
#+END_SRC
