Actually, that's not quite true.  The relevant loop in the current revision 
of rewrite/scripts/replace.py is as follows:

    # Read commandline parameters.
    for arg in pywikibot.handleArgs(*args):
        if genFactory.handleArg(arg):
            continue
        if arg == '-regex':
            regex = True
# ... many elif: clauses omitted
        else:
            commandline_replacements.append(arg)

    gen = genFactory.getCombinedGenerator()

The code snippet included in your original posting was significantly 
different, and the last line read gen = 
genFactory.getCombinedGenerator(gen).
