Minimal working Example

$ cat sample.org
* DONE Title
  CLOSED: [2015-10-19 Mon 15:03]
  - Note taken on [2015-10-19 Mon 13:24] \\
    Some note.

Currently Output

$ pandoc -f org -t html sample.org
<h1>DONE Title</h1>
CLOSED: [2015-10-19 Mon 15:03]
<ul>
<li>Note taken on [2015-10-19 Mon 13:24]<br />
 Some note.</li>
</ul>

Expected Output

$ pandoc -f org -t html sample.org
<h1>DONE Title</h1>
<p>CLOSED: [2015-10-19 Mon 15:03]</p>
<ul>
<li>Note taken on [2015-10-19 Mon 13:24]<br />
 Some note.</li>
</ul>

Extra Information

If there is no list after the time stamp the output is OK.

$ cat sample.org 
* DONE Title
  CLOSED: [2015-10-19 Mon 15:03]
$ pandoc -f org -t html sample.org
<h1>DONE Title</h1>
<p>CLOSED: [2015-10-19 Mon 15:03]</p>

I can see why this is happening:

-- Paragraphs or Plain text                                                     
paraOrPlain :: OrgParser (F Blocks)
paraOrPlain = try $ do
  ils <- parseInlines
  nl <- option False (newline >> return True)
  try (guard nl >> notFollowedBy (orderedListStart <|> bulletListStart) >>
           return (B.para <$> ils))
    <|>  (return (B.plain <$> ils))

In this case the "CLOSED:" text is followed directly by a bullet list item, so we get a Plain rather than a Para.

This is in fact just what you want in nested list contexts like:

* a
  * b
    * c

Here b is a Plain because it's followed directly by an ordered list, with no blank space. This gives you a "tight" list.

Perhaps, though, we could make an exception when we're not in a list context at all, as in the original example.

Making an exception here seems reasonable. Thanks for the report @rgaiacs, I'll try to fix this soonish.
