That's very strange. One thing is good that now it makes sense why "C-u *"
is inserting "****" in your emacs -Q session.. the advice isn't getting
applied in the first place!
Now it is difficult to tell why that advice isn't getting applied in the
first place. I wonder if the code is actually getting evaluated when you
think that it is getting evaluated. Can you describe the steps you take to
evaluate that code?
Here's one more try:
1. Download the attached modi-org-entity.el file
2. Run emacs -Q -l /PATH/TO/modi-org-entity.el --eval "(org-mode)" &
3. C-u * should then work as expected.
Make sure to replace "/PATH/TO/" above with the actual path where you
downloaded modi-org-entity.el.
