Actually using the value of `isearch-forward' to make decision about the direction of replacements is not good because often `C-r' is used to find the uppermost match from which to run forward replacements. Maybe it would help if after the last replacement `query-replace' asked whether to wrap and continue replacements from the beginning of the buffer. Then no matches will be missed when `query-replace' happens to be started in the middle of the buffer.
