I can verify this.  But I think you just found a related but independent
issue.  Consider this example:

(progn
  (save-excursion (insert "a1 b2 a3"))
  (isearch-mode t t)
  (isearch-printing-char ?a)
  (isearch-repeat-forward)
  (isearch-printing-char ?\\)
  (isearch-printing-char ?|)
  (isearch-printing-char ?b))

When "\\|b" is added to search string, the point is at "3".  So it
shouldn't move, right?  But instead it goes back to "2".

Do you get the same behavior?
