Yes, and I've increased the priority and severity of the bug.

GlobalFunctions patch

I first noticed that this bug would only occur when using the PAGENAME magicword : The magicwords were escaped, in the Parser, using wfEscapeWikiText(), but * were not being escaped in this function.

Patch included.

Cheers !
Comment 4 Tim Starling 2008-03-16 10:17:52 UTC 
Patching wfEscapeWikiText() is certainly the wrong way to fix this problem. Suppression of the lineStart (bug 529) behaviour inside links would be more appropriate, and should be easy to implement.
Comment 5 Mormegil 2008-12-18 17:45:41 UTC 
This is another manifestation of the terrible idea implemented in bug 529 and reported in bug 12974, marking as duplicate.
