This patch is installed now, and the bug report is closed.
It also fixed long-standing annoyance of using query-replace in the minibuffer.
Previously the query-replace prompt completely obscured the replaced text.
Now the query-replace prompt is displayed at the end of the minibuffer,
so the replaced text is visible in the minibuffer.
The requested NEWS and Info manual changes were installed as well:
