You must be running emacs without a window system (or under a window
system, but with the -nw command line option). In an xterm on my
platform (i386-pc-solaris2.7, X toolkit), `C-h k M-kp-multiply' shows
| ESC * runs the command pop-tag-mark
and then `C-h l' shows
| C-h k ESC * C-h l
The odd thing is that function-key-map contains this entry
(kp-multiply . [42])
but no escape sequence that maps to [kp-multiply] in the way that `ESC [
1 1 ~' is bound to [f1] or `ESC O p' is bound to [kp-1].

What non-ASCII input event do you think your terminal is sending to
Emacs?

Since setting function-key-map and key-translation-map do not change the
results reported by `C-h k' and `C-h l', I don't think they have
anything to do with it: I think it means that the xterm is actually
sending `*' to Emacs, not an escape sequence.

What do you want to do? It seems like you want to bind M-kp-multiply to
a different command, but for some reason you don't want to use
global-set-key like this:
(global-set-key "\M-*" 'whatever)
