Thanks for the report, but the original text seems fine to me.
As it explains at the start of the section:

"It is the definition of the `Replace' submenu in the `Edit' menu in
the menu bar[...]"

The difference between the two forms is that yours is intended to put
the Replace menu at the top-level, as opposed to inside the Edit menu.
I don't see that your form works though. Surely it should be:

      (define-key global-map [menu-bar replace]
        (list 'menu-item "Replace" menu-bar-replace-menu))
