Ok, this is my third article on this. 

writing something like

(query-replace  "\n" "#")

and then pressing C-x C-e after it does the trick! However, calling
the same function interactively and providing the arguments \n and #
doesn't do the trick at all. I have no idea why though. Perhaps
someone who know a bit more about lisp can shed some light on this?

I don't see why this behavior shouldn't be labeled as a bug.
