Thanks! Seems I have skipped some parts of the manual. :)

I can live with this now that I know it. It is extremely confusing at
first, though, so future generations might prefer to live without that
feature if it is not really necessary. That is, if a comma is not needed
when the star (*) is not at the beginning of the line.

All the best,

The comma is meant to escape the star (*), see footnote in (info "(org)
Literal examples"). I'm not sure the comma is required (because your *
isn't at the start of the line), but is shouldn't hurt (i.e. you can C-c
', you can C-c C-c, etc.)

See (info "(org) Literal examples"), in particular fourth footnote.

[O] Weird Asymptote mode behaviour in org

[Jarmo Hurri]

Greetings.

When editing Asymptote code in org, a comma sometimes appears out of
nowhere into the Asymptote code. The org code below explains how to
reproduce this. (I am using the version of org pulled this morning.)

* description
  Move cursor into the code below. Press ~C-c '~ to edit the code in
  Asymptote mode. Do not change anything in the code, just press ~C-c
  '~ to return to org. You will notice that a comma has been inserted
  into the code.
* test case
  #+BEGIN_SRC asymptote
real s = 50
  * 21.1;
  #+END_SRC
