Adding to my previous reply, if a single asterisk is a user error (when 
not matched by a bullet list rule or bold) then another approach could 
be to do something like this:

     single_bold = {
        name = 'markup.bold.asciidoc';
        begin = '\*';
        end = '\*|(\n)';
        endCaptures = {
           1 = { name = 
'invalid.illegal.unterminated_asterisk.asciidoc'; };
        };
     };

Here we terminate the rule either when seeing an asterisk or seeing a 
newline character, and in the latter case, we scope the newline as 
“invalid.illegal” which, with most themes, should give it a red 
background.
