Whether the inserted block is indented depends on ‘org-get-indentation’
and thus the cursor’s position, at least in some cases.
In particular, if | is the cursor, run org-get-indentation for these two
examples to understand when you get indentation and when not:
1.
- a
|
2:
- a
|
In 1. you are making a new block outside the list, in 2. it is part of the
first item of the list. Both are valid.

You can have any amount of whitespace before expanding something a tempo
snippet. You can’t have anything but whitespace before expanding a tempo
snippet as a block must be the only thing on the line.
(there does appear to be a bug in expanding when there’s something after
the snippet:
- a
<e| b
I’m not sure what is the right thing to do with “b” in this case.)

AFAICT everything is working as expected.
Kind regards,
