Sorry, but that's not true. Excuse my self-quoting:
"For example, I did some "^M^J" -> "^J"
replacements (to fix a garbled patch) on Windows, and in subsequent
invocations of Emacs the contents of query-replace-history got sillier
and sillier: "^M^M^J", "^M^M^M^M^J", etc."
What happened was that I had a patch with garbled EOL sequences. I did
some replacement and applied the patch (from inside Emacs). Next time
I tried to do the same I was puzzled to see ^M^M^J in the replacement
string. Truth be told, it wasn't even the first time it happened to
me, just the first time I took the time to investigate it. I suppose I
have some suboptimal diff/patch tools which make the problem more
likely.

I trust your judgement on Emacs issues; I was interested in knowing
what was I missing.
