This is strange because if there is no region selected, this means that
it should replace everywhere in the whole buffer (but only when point is
at the beginning of the buffer).

It could help you to debug when you insert the following line
in 'query-replace' immediately before the 'perform-replace' call:
(message "region: %S %S" start end)
Then after query-replace you could check in the *Messages* buffer
and see the exact region boundaries used. If there are 'nil' values,
this might mean there is a bug in save-mark-and-excursion.
