Oh, it's possible:
# touch /tmp/\*\*tmp\*\*
# ln -s /tmp/\*\*tmp\*\* /tmp/\*\*\*tmp\*\*\*
# ls -al /tmp/*tmp*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 albinus albinus 12 Aug 20 10:00 /tmp/***tmp*** -> /tmp/**tmp**
-rw-rw-r-- 1 albinus albinus 0 Aug 20 10:00 /tmp/**tmp**
And your patch makes the Tramp test suite fail. Try
# make check
The problem is, that in function `tramp--test-special-characters' the
file "*foo*bar*baz*" is checked. With your mask "**", the stat command
temporarily returns "***foo*bar*baz***", Tramp cannot decide safely,
which of the "**" characters has to be replaced in sed.
So we would need another mask, which won't appear most likely in the
file name. Maybe you play with generating an arbitrary string, as
`tramp-end-of-heredoc' does?
Best regards, Michael.
