The FROM value is stored in history even if you abort the query and
replace without completing it:
emacs -Q
M-% foo RET
C-g
M-% M-p (this should recover "foo").
There's room for improvement, though. If there are complete query
replace items of the form FROM -> TO, then they are placed before the
FROM entries in the history. Perhaps there should be a mechanism to
recover those FROM entries from history more quickly.
