{5,10} is apparently interpreted as a position within an array rather than
a list of positions. Not sure why the algorithm isn't able to resolve the
ambiguity given that the input is a simple list. Or why there is no error
stating that position {5,10} does not exist.


x = {-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate, -1.25664,
   0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, Indeterminate};


x2 = x /. Indeterminate -> 0


{-1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319, 1.25664, 0, -1.25664, 0.628319, -0.628319, \
1.25664, 0}


x2 ==
 ReplacePart[x, {5 -> 0, 10 -> 0}] ==
 ReplacePart[x, Thread[{5, 10} -> 0]] ==
 ReplacePart[x, {{5} -> 0, {10} -> 0}] ==
 ReplacePart[x, {{5}, {10}} -> 0] ==
 ReplacePart[x, List /@ {5, 10} -> 0] ==
 ReplacePart[x, Position[x, Indeterminate] -> 0]


True
