Hmmm, I am not sure if I like different results after one or two
key presses.  If you want to indent deeper, you can use M-right.

How about the following proposal, which would rather consistently
base the indentation on the line before the current.

*** headline
- item 1
- item 2
here we have some text
- item 3

pressing TAB in each of the last 4 lines would give the
following result.

*** headline
    - item 1
    - item 2
      here we have some text
      - item 3
