Wildcard certificates are not supported in LCS 2005 SP1

Just a quick note - I've seen problems with wildcard certificates that have been used in LCS implementations and just received a comment on this and the documentation from Microsoft is very sparse on the subject.

Wildcard certificates are not supported in LCS, you may get it to work in a simple scenario, but in general it means trouble and it is unsupported.

The only written documentation on this can be found on page 17 in the presentation "How to plan for and deploy certificates in Live Communications Server 2005 SP1" by Shawn Mahan here.
