Bug: Unable to request replace-string of " \t" |

When invoking the replace-string command from the keyboard, spaces
seem to get dropped from the first argument to replace-string if
followed by a TAB character. To reproduce:
1. "emacs -Q"
2. "M-x replace-string RET SPC TAB RET x RET". It won't matter that
it doesn't replace anything. Notice that the SPC and TAB are inserted
into the minibuffer normally, though the prompt after typing RET says
"Replace regexp ^I with: ", indicating that the SPC was deleted.
3. You can also do "C-x ESC ESC" to verify that the actual first
argument to replace-string consists of a single TAB.
Wierd, eh? I discovered it in an emacs built two weeks ago, and then
reproduced it in one built via "make bootstrap" from CVS as of about
half an hour ago. I followed the trail as far as read_minibuf, but then
got lost.
