No, '*' is perfectly fine a character on POSIX systems.  It's not valid
on FAT and NTFS usually.

I'm wondering what the problem is.  Listing the "*" subdir works fine for me:

$ find /proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/OpenWithList
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/shellex
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/InfoTip
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/QuickTip
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/AlwaysShowExt
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/*/TileInfo
/proc/registry/HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/.323
[...]
