Fails as expected for me:
$ postgres --listen-addresses='192*'

I'm suspicious that you have an override of listen_addresses somewhere ---
for instance, the "-i" postmaster command line switch effectively is
--listen-addresses='*'. Even if you had a version of getnameinfo() that
failed to complain about '192*', that would not cause the recorded value
of the string GUC to silently transmogrify into something else. You might
look into pg_settings to see where it says that value of listen_addresses
came from.
