you didn't show your input so i'll have to guess,
if the doc is
<x> <a>one<!-- here -->two</a> <a>three</a> <a>four</a> </x>
and the current node is x then
element()/text() will select four text nodes with values "one" "two" "three" "four" so <xsl:value-of select="element()/text()" separator=", "/> will generate one text node with value "one, two, three, four"
* will select three element nodes, each with name a and with string values "onetwo" "three" "four" so
<xsl:value-of select="*" separator=", "/> will generate one text node with string value "onetwo", "three", "four"

Isn't it that adjacent text nodes are being merged before the separator is applied?
