It says it as a joke... They say "Well, of course we're kidding", and
more oppologies about the ugly postscript tricks they had to use.
The documentation (/usr/share/texmf/doc/latex/psfrag/pfgguide.ps, at
least in Redhat 7.1) describes the replaced strings as "tag words", composed
of unaccented letters and numbers. It probably wasn't meant for substring
substitution, but rather for you to use a word like, e.g., "sinx" inside
the figure, and then replace it by a nice latex sin(x).
The manual seems to suggest something even stricter: the tag should be
the entire string inside the parantheses before a "show" (or similar
commands) - perhaps it can't even be a word inside a bigger sentence!
(but I'm note sure - I never used psfrag myself).
