Created attachment 16109 [details, diff] patch to fix the problem This patch fixes the said problem. Someone please review (although I've already reviewed it, checked in IE, and made sure the XML is OK). It has my Imperial Approval. ;)
Oh, however...About the font issues, that's a XSL sheet issue. I'm actually thinking it's more of an issue about the font you have specified for monospace (so it's an IE configuration issue). The patch only fixes the ampersands.
Font settings have been reset. Strange rendering of * still appears. I tried viewing on another system (ie 6.0), still the same. I just think that at that size some things can't be accurately rendered. The reason I caught it was at first to me it looked like a ' and I was wondering why there wasn't a close quote as well. I didn't realize until I cut and pasted it that it was a * instead.
Unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it because it's IE's (and Microsoft's) fault. :\ Tell them to, among other things, fix their font rendering of the monospace asterix.
Tried it in Mozilla, same issue , see pic: http://home.attbi.com/~stonent/prob2.png

http://home.attbi.com/~stonent/prob4.png Mozilla running within linux, same issue. It appears the font is a bit smaller.
The asterix in the Windows screenshots show what looks to be half of an asterix. If you look in the Linux screenshot, you'll notice it's a full asterix -- just a little small and maybe scrunched up. The problem, hence, lies in the Windows font's rendering of the asterix at that size. The XSL sheet, from my understanding, merely specifies the font to be "monospace" - and that won't change. Specifying anything else would be The Wrong Thing™ to do.
klasikahl: do *not* apply the patch. Running export on the CONFIG_PROTECT is the error, not the missing &&. If you run export, the configuration protection is for the rest of the shell session, which might not be what we want. Fix this by removing the export plz.

Looks sane to me. Reviewed and accepted.
The patch has been applied and the revision has been committed.
