I see you've found the origin of your problem, but just for
completeness's sake:
- You can use `ESC C-%`.
- I never use `C-M-%` and instead use `C-u C-s .... M-%`
(or `C-s ... M-r ... M-%`)

Virtually all of Emacs's "core" keybindings were introduced for/by
people using US keyboards.
> Who actually uses keyboard to invoke replace-regexp?
What would you use instead?
