I don't know wether this is a bug or not.  But I know a way that works:

http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/5719/how-do-i-demote-promote-selected-subtrees/18216#18216

If you kill the region that you want to promote/demote and then use
org-paste-subtree with the needed number of stars before the paste
target, you get what you want.
