Maybe it's a factor of hardly ever using Auto-replace (guess I agree with
Carl that it's just too distracting), but I'm having trouble seeing how this
matters a lot. If the word comes up often enough, it could be treated
directly in the replacement list file, no ?

I was not aware of this difference, much less its being carried over to
Xy4. That being the case, wouldn't your entries above be equally applicable
there, to alter the behavior of AR ?
