I believe you are seeing org's escaping at play. It puts a comma in front of the leading *. It must think that it is a heading in org-syntax, and so it escapes it to avoid some issues.
I think here it is a bug since that is not a heading. can you use some other leading character? I don't think the * have any significance in latex.
