its doc string?

Sorry if that was unclear: I think we'd need to update the docstring of fileloop-initialize-replace. Which doesn't offer any hints that the logic of isearch-no-upper-case-p will be employed.

Also see the part about obeying the value of search-upper-case.

Does that really work in the case in point?  Unless I'm missing
something, if case-fold-search is t by default, this patch would cause
the search to be case-insensitive even if the FROM regexp includes
upper-case characters.  But in that case, perform-replace will
internally decide to be case-sensitive, and we have the same failure
on our hands.  This is why the patch I proposed explicitly examined
the FROM regexp for upper-case characters.  Whereas yours doesn't.

Since we bind search-upper-case to nil in this patch, perform-replace won't try to alter the value of case-fold-search internally.
