To anyone that knows their operator precedence, the result is not a surprise at all. In your first version, the ReplaceAll is acting on the Normal operator, not the entire expression. Basically, postfix (//) has the lowest precedence, so that you can chuck it at the end of any expression. This is good for things like //Simplify, //MatrixForm, etc...
