I don't quite see where the *s are coming from: 
(&(*sAMAccountName=*)(objectclass=Person))

There definitely shouldn't be a * before sAMAccountName and the one 
after should be an actual user and not a wildcard search.

The config and the debug output dont seem to match up.

Can you make sure that, with the config as it is, you do a full restart:

apachectl stop
rm -rf $RTHOME/var/mason_data/obj/*
apachectl start

and then try again and check that the output is exactly the same?

Also can you confirm you are using v0.05 and you haven't altered it at all?

If after a full restart everything is the same, you might want to add a 
little debug around line 208 in /usr/local/lib/rt3/lib/RT/User_Vendor.pm 
to work out where those stars are coming from - I've never seen them 
before...
