Interesting. I did some more tests here. I can only get this error
with a single asterisk followed by a single word. A single asterisk
followed by two or more words is accepted. Also, when I enter a tweet
with just a single asterisk and no other characters, I don't get an
error, but the tweet is not put into my account. It is just ignored.
This set of errors is reproduced when I try it with multiple accounts.

When I try entering a tweet through Twitter.com that starts with an
asterisk, I get an error of Sorry! We did something wrong, and the
tweet does not get sent. The same thing happens if I use Tweetdeck.
To try this, send the following tweet:
* test
There is no problem using a single asterisk anywhere else in a tweet
that I can find.
