Oh, it's a bug alright. A bullet must be properly aligned with the bulleted to
text - even if the bullet is of a different font. This what users expect, and
this is what presentation viewers expect. The breaking of this alignment is the
atypical behavior which may require some careful manipulation/settings; but
doing nothing, there must be alignment.

Now, the question what exactly this alignment constitutes is a little more
tricky, since fonts have many metrics. But whatever the rule chosen, it must
agree with the exepctation in the most common of cases. So, the v-center of the
bullet glyph of OpenSymbol needs to align with the v-center - however we define
that - of the bulleted paragraph's first line. In the specific case of
attachment 197248, the bullet's v-center should align with the v-center of the
"x" in "Text", more or less.

It is legitimate for intentional styling to get the bullet v-shifted relative
to the v-center of the bulleted line; but - not the default styling, and not
the merge changing of bullet typeface or font size.
