The current limitation is inability to use some greedy
regexps in rectangle mode. This is not much worse than
limiting query-replace to non-multi-line matches only.

Actually not narrowing in the sense of narrow-to-region,
but temporarily setting the LIMIT arg of 'replace-search'
to the end of the region of the current line.
I invite anyone who uses the rectangle mode to try
different use cases to see whether this works well.
Maybe this also helps in cases like described in bug#6362.
