Hi mark this is the expected behaviour. A leading wildcard would require a full termlist scan therefore by default there is a required prefix length. I think it's set on the querparser. Let me know if you can't find it and I'll try and find it.
If you are often doing prefixed wildcards, some people will create a reversed field and use that field instead when appropriate. For example, a search for filename:*.doc. Can be transformed into searching for reverse_filename:cod.*. this can be achieved by overriding the query parser. Nasty but effective trick.
