Wild card replace does not work as expected when track changes is on.

PamC,

thank you so much, you solved the mystery!
Of course, change tracking was on (I never use it myself, but most
documents I get thrown at me have it activated), and this was the
cause of the problem.
However, IMO the expression "does not work as expected" is a little
bit too friendly. In my eyes this *does* qualify as an ugly bug.
