I've never tried to setup field level permissions on access linked
tables before, so this is news to me. However, I wonder if this
behavior is a result of the way MS-Access implements optimistic
locking. I'll have to do more digging on this subject.

This is correct. This is the way it is documented to work since '*'
expands to list every field of the set.
