It means that we have a missing feature: we don't have any reasonable way of typing unibyte characters at Isearch's prompt. We need to provide one. There was such a kludgey feature in the past, but it conflicted with a much more useful possibility of inserting Unicode codepoints with C-q, and so the kludge was deleted in one of the previous versions. We need to restore it, at least for when Isearch was initiated from a unibyte buffer. Another possibility would be to have an input method for that. (The manual isn't wrong, strictly speaking: it says "non-ASCII characters", not "raw bytes in unibyte buffers".)
