Please answer the question. It is known that
Re(ExH*)/2 = 0 for pure standing waves all up and
down the line. If E and H* are both non-zero, how
can Re(ExH*)/2 be zero?

Known by whom?

If you are talking about time and/or spatial averages then yes, the
Poynting vector will be zero. If you are talking about instantaneous
calculations at any point and time, then no, the Poynting vector will
not be zero all up and down the line.

Once again you have misinterpreted something you read in a book.
