It is a new consequence of the 'incsearch' option. It used to affect
searching /, but it recently started to affect replacing during while
editing the command line. And it has the drawbacks you mention about
copy-pasting and in general perusing context.

My work-around for now is to remove the % while editing and put it back
before executing. But I also would like a way of enabling 'incsearch'
for searches and disabling for replacement.
