Still groping for a resolution.... Here's something that might be
relevant.
The immediately preceding re-search-forward was successful. However,
the subexpression which matched (#4) is a null string, i.e., "". So the
question: Will replace-match replace an empty string with specified
text...? in effect *inserting* text at the location of the specified
(albeit nil) subexpression?
