Okay, I was curious, so I had to test this out using our wildcard cert...

MSIE5.5 works as described above.  You get a certificate name does not
match site name warning when trying to access anything other than
somehost.domain.ext

Mozilla 1.3 actually allows you to access this.somehost.domain.ext,
that.this.somehost.domain.ext, etc.etc.etc.that.this.somehost.domain.ext

Mozilla only complains about the cert not matching domain.ext

I wonder of this is by design or a bug.

...not sure how other browsers behave...
