I'm afraid you tested the wrong thing.  You need to try "*foo*" and
" *foo*", i.e. with and without the leading space in the buffer name.
Whether the buffer name contains asterisks or not is, as you
discovered, irrelevant.

There is no use in testing that.  The code is not expected to fontify
anything when you remove `(font-lock-mode 1)'.

If you're not sure what to test, you should contact me privately with
your findings, to prevent needless traffic on the development list.
