Default Wildcard search finds okay, but replaces wrong??

Using Ctrl+H, with "Use Wildcards" checked, I am searching for
(^t^t^t)(i.)([ ]{1,2})
I want to replace with
(^t^t)([^40]1[^41])([ ])
(The last time I tried a wildcard search, I had trouble with [\(] and [\)],
and I substituted ^40 and ^41 and it worked fine.)

The Find part works great. The Replace, though, is actually inserting the
"(^t^t)([^40]1[^41])([ ])", rather than two tabs, (1), and two spaces!!
Why??
