Thanks for the bug report. Actually this is a more fundamental problem.
`replace-string` just uses `region-beginning` and `region-end`.
So the question is why `region-beginning` and `region-end`
don't return rectangular region boundaries. The second question is
why `region-beginning` and `region-end` are implemented in C,
so it's more tricky to fix them to use rectangular region boundaries.
