Customize option `special-display-regexps' to
`("[ ]?[*][^*]+[*]")', for example.

I just reported the bug.  If you want to fix it, fine.
If not, OK.  I'm not a user of xref, so far.  I simply
tried it and immediately fell upon the problem reported.

I have nil `mouse-1-click-follows-link', non-nil
`pop-up-frames', and `("[ ]?[*][^*]+[*]")' for
`special-display-regexps' (which affects a buffer named
`*xref*').

If the bug report helps, great.  If you apply the fix
I suggested (from the manual, about Emacs conventions,
and shown as example for `compile.el'), fine.  If you
apply some other fix, fine.  If you leave it as is, too
bad for some xref users, probably.  Or maybe someone
else will fix it later.
