No (this is implemented using `before-change-functions' and
`after-change-functions' and should automatically recognize any kind of
modifications).

 (while (re-search-forward ...) replace-match ...)

loop didn't reveal the problem for me.

If the problem is not caused by your setup (can you reproduce the
problem in emacs -Q; do you use a recent build?) -- yes of course,
please do that.
