I can reproduce. The issue appears only in level 1 headlines because of
wrong regexp in font-lock-keywords. The attach patch should fix the
problem.

Best,

Subject: [PATCH] Fix description list item regexp when fontifying "*" items

* lisp/org.el (org-set-font-lock-defaults): Avoid fontifying headlines
with "::" as description list items.  Lists can start with "*", but
"*" must not be at the beginning of line.  Old regexp did not require
whitespace before "*" in description list items.
