Indeed, you are correct (BIP125 rule 4[1]).

Thanks for the correction,

[1] For the curious, the relevant code from master's validation.cpp:

    // Finally in addition to paying more fees than the conflicts the
    // new transaction must pay for its own bandwidth.
    CAmount nDeltaFees = nModifiedFees - nConflictingFees;
    if (nDeltaFees < ::incrementalRelayFee.GetFee(nSize))
    {
        return state.DoS(0, false,
                REJECT_INSUFFICIENTFEE, "insufficient fee", false,
                strprintf("rejecting replacement %s, not enough additional fees to relay; %s < %s",
                      hash.ToString(),
                      FormatMoney(nDeltaFees),
                      FormatMoney(::incrementalRelayFee.GetFee(nSize))));
    }
