Yes, I (unfortunately) did not care about the LaTeX side of this special
case, just wanted to say that this

,-------------
| * 1st Level
| text
| ** 2nd Level
| text
| ** 2nd Level

`-------------

often causes headaches that can easily avoided, e.g by 

,-------------
| * 1st Level
| ** 2nd Level
| text
| ** 2nd Level
| text
| ** 2nd Level
| text

or (your solution)

,-------------
| * 1st Level

| * 1st Level
| ** 2nd Level
