I think that's maybe something new.  I don't see that,
with, e.g., Emacs 26.3.

I do see the problem of not being able to use a regexp
that matches beginning of file name, for query replace.

That problem is from isearch filtering.  I see that
same problem when, say, limiting query replacing to a
rectangle that contains just file names (or file names
plus spaces before them).  That's entirely understandable.
