So, this DOES work:

- name: Set date for demo 1
  replace: dest={{ workdirectory2 }}/junk.java regexp='2016' replace="{{ 
hostvars['localhost']['year'] }}"
  when: (is_demo and '{{ hostvars['localhost']['soft'] }}' == 'newapp')

Simply removing the double quotes around the 2nd part of the conditional 
makes it work. So the new question is:  Is that a bug?
