I see that '^' is completely broken and never worked correctly
even when the replacement string doesn't contain '\,'.
It ignores and skips the adjacent matches.
This is demonstrated by this test:

I tried to replace 'read-key' with the minibuffer-reading functions,
but this never will be possible because for backward-compatibility
any key that is not in 'query-replace-map' should exit query-replace
(like Isearch is exited by any other char).  For example, 'C-x o'
can't be used to switch from the minibuffer, because it should
exit query-replace before switching to other window.

Thanks, sounds like a good plan.  Patches welcome.

I see there is the following comment about '^' ('backup'):

  ;; Record previous position for ^ when we move on.
  ;; Change markers to numbers in the match data
  ;; since lots of markers slow down editing.

I guess this doesn't play well with next called only for the current match:

  ;; Calculate the replacement string, if necessary.
  (when replacements
    (set-match-data real-match-data)
    (setq next-replacement
          (funcall (car replacements) (cdr replacements)
                   replace-count)))

Trying to change this complex logic will surely break other cases.

So first we need to write more tests covering all possible cases,
including query-replace-regexp with \, and ^.

BTW, such tests will also help later to migrate query-replace
from 'read-key' to the minibuffer char-reading functions
that will simplify query-replace interactions and will obsolete
such keys as 'C-r' that enters recursive edit, etc.

Further information:

I couldn't reproduce the bug when replacement string doesn't contain "\,"

For instance, the query-replace-regexp

C-m-% \([aeiou]\) RET \,\1 RET

reproduces the bug, but

C-m-% \([aeiou]\) RET \1 RET

doesn't reproduce the bug (because there is no bug without \,).

Work around: to avoid the bug, after ^, quit replace, move point
before match and start replace again.

When running interactively query-replace-regexp using \, in match string
to eval some lisp code on replacement, if one invokes previous match
with `^' followed by `y' (replace match), the replacement is done with
next match :-(

To reproduce the bug:

1) emacs -Q

We land on *scratch* buffer, whose text begins with ";; This buffer is for ..."

2) Go to beginning of text, on 1st `;'

3) Perform the following query-replace-regexp

C-M-% \([aeiou]\) RET \,(upcase \1) RET

4) Accept first with `y'.  Text becomes ";; ThIs buffer is for ..." and match
goes to `u'.

5) Deny second with `n', match goes to `e'.

6) Perform previous match with `^', match returns to `u'.

7) Now the bug: current match is `u', then accept with `y'.

Result:   ;; ThIs bEffer is for...

Replacement was done as if the current match was `e', not `u'.

Expected: ;; ThIs bUffer is for...
