3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/38211/+attachment/2142831/+files/example.odt
&& unoconv --listener && unoconv -f txt example.odt && lowriter -nologo
example.txt example.odt

the bullets in example.odt are converted to asterisks in the example.txt
file, as Word does it if converted from .doc to .txt.

4) What happens instead is the bullets are removed but not replaced with asterisks. The file was created opening a blank document then entering the following 3 lines:
list item one
list item two
list item three

Highlight the three lines and click the "Bullets" button on the toolbar
to make the list bulleted. Save as .odt file.

[Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.4.0RC1  – WIN7  Home Premium  (64bit)

I never have seen such a bullet to asterisks conversion in LibO or OOo,
OOo1.1.4. 3.4, 3.4-dev also ignore bullets during 'Save as .txt'.

The current behavior is unexpected and unsatisfying, numbered lists will
be converted, so I believe it should be not too difficult to find a
solution for lists with bullets.

Currently we have in 'Tools > AutoCorrect Options  > Options ' "Apply
numbering - symbol: *" + "Replace bullets with: *.

I believe it never can be wrong to save bullets as "*" or "-" for text documents.
Sounds like an enhancement, but IMHO the difference to the numbering export handling makes it a bug.
