So am I correct in understanding that ReplayGain is more like a smart 
"gain knob" that adjusts the track in a non-linear way, but rather one 
that is consistent with human-ear frequency response?

If that's the case, is it possible (and sane) to do what I was saying 
before about peak-detecting and auto-adjusting gain first, then use 
ReplayGain to adjust the volume slider, but _change the volume slider 
curve_ to be perceptually correct instead of linear? (Seems that would 
make sense to do anyway, since it's called Volume. :) )

Well, what do Mixxx's volume sliders currently do? Vittorio said in IRC 
that it's exceedingly rare for ReplayGain to want to boost a track, so 
if the sliders are 0dBFS at the top, that might be just fine.
