Making Stefan's solution a macro, I am now using
this in my code:

  (defmacro invoke-with-typing (FORM &rest CHARS)
    "JK:05Jun2013: Executes FORM, which would normally prompt
  the user for input.  Here, CHARS are characters sent to the
  form, as-if the user had typed them.

  USAGE: (invoke-with-typing (query-replace \"wierd\" \"STRANGE\") ?y ?
n ?! )
    will replace the first occurrence of \"wierd\", not the second,
and
    all the remaining occurrences

  Note that FORM needs to be a form, rather than evaluate to a form."
    `(let ((unread-command-events ',CHARS)) ,FORM)
    )
