Correct.

While I would agree with you, the LibreOffice folks might consider that
a feature rather than a bug. Visually, what happens is this:

* Control+Home places you just to the left of the "i" in item1. In other
  words the caret is already past the bullet.
* Shift+Down selects one physical line of text, i.e. the start of the
  selection is where the caret is; the end of the selection is
  immediately below the caret. Thus everything is selected from "item1"
  up to, but not including the "i" in "item2". That includes the bullet.

Whether or not this is how it should be is a matter of debate. But if
you don't like it, file a bug against LibreOffice. Note that this is not
an accessibility issue; this is the behavior one gets without Orca
running; Orca merely presents what is going on.

Well, what you were reporting initially *was* an Orca bug which I've now
fixed.
