Changing the regexps looks like the right fix.  Perhaps even \\(\\>\\|\\S_\\).

Apparently there's no concise way to express "end-of-symbol" with
Emacs' regexps, but I think we shouldn't change the syntax table.
"Symbol constituent" sounds like the right character class for '*',
event though '*' is used mostly at the start or end of symbols.

Helmut.
