My concern is DNS servers that don't allow characters that are not valid for
host names. OTOH, if I can look up some arbitrary string and get an A record
for it, I should be able to use it as a host name if the protocol it came from
would support it (e.g. a web URL).

Other than for things like zone transfers, wild cards are a synthesis. You'll
get the answer the domain owner wants to send. Wild cards are a tool to that
end at the domain server.
