Don't replace previously searched-for text with title

The current page title is not a likely search term, seeing as it occurs
in many places all over the page. The user is more likely to search for
the phrase that was last searched for.

I think the idea is for the user to be able to build on it - adding other words, that is.
At least that's how I use it.

Yes, that must be the idea. I don't do that myself as I can type the search term fast enough to not bother editing the pre-filled word. But repeating the previous search is something I have use for. The new behavior would be more similar to web browsers, which keep the last searched-for phrase in the Find-in-page field.

Would you edit the page title more frequently than reuse/edit the previous search term?

That's a fair point.

It's only occasionally that I use this feature and I could learn to live without it, but on the other hand,
I hardly ever feel the need to reuse a search term from some previous look-up.
