unwanted paragraph (syntax edge-case)

[John MacFarlane]

I agree with you that markdown's behavior here is unexpected
(and non-ideal). Note that pandoc does not insert the <p> tags around
the first "asdf" unless you leave a blank line after it, as in:

*   asdf

    * asdf
    * asdf

    asdf

This leaves the choice up to the writer. There's some discussion
of this kind of edge case in the pandoc documentation:
