Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

perform-replace examines the search string for upper-case characters,
and forces a case-sensitive search if it finds any.  But it doesn't
consider that a regexp may contain upper-case characters without being
case-sensitive (e.g., a\S-).

Isearch has a function (isearch-no-upper-case-p) that was designed to
address this issue.  I've attached a patch to make perform-replace use
isearch-no-upper-case-p instead of its naive comparison.
