I made some mappings on all *-expand-* variations for the discussion 
on shell-expand-case.
The '*' mapping seams more appropiate.

But the vi-command mode puts the cursor on the last character,
instead of one past it (as it is in vi-insert-mode).

That has the effect that '*' does not work easily.
If you type, in vi-insert-mode:
   l s space <switch-to-command-mode> *
files starting with 'ls' will be completed.
Expected all files to be inserted.
Not sure if that is fixable.
