I'm not convinced that this is true -

But if you surround an * or _ with spaces, it'll be treated as a
literal asterisk or underscore.

The second * is hardly _surrounded_ by spaces.  I think we should just
leave this because it's easy enough to get around (surrounded it with
spaces, or escape the *), and will add even more complexity to an
already complicated regexp.

This works for me - any line starting with * gets matched by the
markup.list.unnumbered rule.  Maybe you don't have a blank line
afterwards?
