Now, what exactly is the supposed difference between the classic * and the
proposed **/*! again?  That the former only applies to non-existent
domains, while the latter also applies to domains that already have some
RR defined for them?  Or is there another difference?

Correct. 
'*' is for when host does not exist while '**' is for hosts that do exist 
but do not have record for wildcarded RR type.

P.S. I don't have any preference for "**" vs "*!" but I would like to 
remind that to enter the latter, the gui or similar interface to dns
zone administration would have to be modified.
