In 22.3, this used read-from-minibuffer, which returns the empty
string in case of no input.

Now it used read-regexp, which returns nil in case of no input (if no
default is supplied). That doesn't seem right.

Perhaps this:

*** replace.el	9 Jan 2009 05:01:00 -0000	1.282
--- replace.el	27 Feb 2009 21:41:59 -0000

      (if (equal input "")
! 	default-value
        (prog1 input
  	(add-to-history 'regexp-history input)))))
