Hi Stefan,
I have made some progress on this:
The following patch eliminates the undo-list hack. It works much better
than before, as it is now possible to edit the replacement text before
repeating the substitution using M-v.
This has always been annoying for me, so I really appreciate your
suggestion.
Since there is only one active replacement text across all buffers, it makes
more sense for me to use an overlay to keep track of the replacement text.
If you could install this, I would appreciate it very much.
Kim

Use overlay to track replacement text instead of abusing the
undo-list; this allows the text to be edited before it is
used for substitutions. Add highlight to the replacement text.
