Thanks for the report, Mike.  See the new option
`wdired-search-replace-filenames' to turn off the new behavior.

Maybe turning this new behavior on by default was too much (Juri)?

BTW, shouldn't the "\M-sf" key prefix work in wdired?  And when
starting a search in a wdired mode buffer, a subsequent M-% doesn't
inherit the we-are-searching-filenames state from the search, only the
binding of `wdired-search-replace-filenames' counts.  If that worked, it
would allow to get the other query-replace behavior wrt filename
replacing without the need to touch the option.

Michael.
