So how do you know that the string contains at most one ';'? Same for
all the other replacements. If that's not guaranteed, this is not at all
equivalent.

Or maybe the result is just used a normal string afterwards, and it
doesn't matter at all how the content after the first ';' has been mangled?

It's certainly not obvious to me that this is correct, but of course I
know nothing about this code.
