There is no bug here. 

The important thing to notice is that you are using TAB before inserting
the second bullet. Org understands that you want to indent the current
empty line into the current item (how could it tell you're going to add
an item?).

If you want to trigger `org-list-indent-offset' correctly, first insert
the bullet, then tabulate.
