I agree with you that markdown's behavior here is unexpected (and non-ideal). Note that pandoc does not insert the <p> tags around the first "asdf" unless you leave a blank line after it, as in:
* asdf
* asdf
* asdf
asdf
This leaves the choice up to the writer. There's some discussion
of this kind of edge case in the pandoc documentation:
