Re: replace history is broken for empty strings and/or duplicate entries

        M-x replace-string RET {no history         } x RET y RET
        M-x replace-string RET {history: x -> y    } z RET C-g
        M-x replace-string RET {history: y -> z    } (!)

    One solution is to somehow indicate which entries were to-strings.
    Then replace-string could find the last to-string
    and the previous from-string, and use those two.

For instance, it could put a text property on every from-string,
or put a text property on every to-string.  Then those properties
could be used to recognize the last complete pair.
