I reread your initial email.. so look like you see nothing getting inserted
when in do "C-u *"? That is odd.

Can you do the following and see if things work as intended? If they do,
then there's something conflicting with your config:

1. Launch emacs -Q
2. Paste the whole code block from
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/16746/115 to the *scratch* buffer and
evaluate it.
3. Do C-x b something.org
4. M-x org-mode
5. Hit "C-u *"
6. You should see an asterisk being displayed, which is actually a
prettified version of "\ast{}" which is what actually got inserted.

Also, please report your emacs and org-mode versions. I am using the latest
build of emacs-25 branch from git and the latest build of org-mode master
branch git.
