bug#13695: 24.2; kp-multiply in isearch is not recorded by kbd macro

[Vandrus Zoltán]

If I try to define a keyboard macro where I search for *, and I use the
<kp-multiply> then the * is not present in the macro as a
self-inserting command.

Recording <kp-multiply> in normal text (not in isearch mode) works,
and using the not-numpad * also works even in isearch mode.
Just the <kp-multiply> + isearch combination has this problem.

Recipe after emacs -Q:

<f3> <kp-multiply> C-s <kp-multiply> <return> <f4>

The relevant output of C-x C-k C-e:
(Note the missing * after C-s.)

   Macro:

   * ;; self-insert-command
   C-s ;; isearch-forward
   RET ;; help-follow

The value of last-kbd-macro:
[kp-multiply 19 13]

When I tried your recipe, I see:

In 24.2.1  `last-kbd-macro' is [kp-multiply 19 13]
In 24.2.92 `last-kbd-macro' is [kp-multiply 19 42 13]

So something has changed between these versions
and now is better than before.  The question remains
does `42' instead of `kp-multiply' present a problem?

Thanks to Yidong, this was fixed 2012-10-30 in bug#4894.

Evaluating (lookup-key local-function-key-map [kp-multiply]) returns [42]
in `isearch-other-meta-char', and this value is recorded in kbd macro.

If this is not a real issue, then this bug can be closed.

Let's assume it's not a problem until there is evidence otherwise.
