Question: Is a certificate for "*.example.com" considered valid for 
"example.com"?

OpenSSL seems to say no, but Firefox 2 says yes.  Try
"https://stanford.edu"; for a test.

RFC 2459 doesn't discuss wildcards.  I haven't paid
73 CHF to access the X.509 standard at "http://www.itu.int/rec/T-REC-X.509-200508-I/en";.
