I think, you do nothing wrong. It's an editor bug with an easy workaround.
You mustn't take query-replace-string instead of replace-string. Also you
have to answer every question for replacement, because the bug appears with
answer '(!) Do rest' in query-replace-mode too.

Micro-emacs 3.9i seems to replace all occurrences of the search string
with the replacement string of the last match or something like this.
My result of your example was the following line:

    \^{g}u \^{g}i \^{g}emas

It's an interesting bug. I'll take a look at the sources and try to find it
out.

When I am successful, I'll post it here.

    Happy hacking,      Holger
