This is a UI improvement suggestion, not a bug report.
Using 24.2, type:
onto to
Then do:
C-a C-s to
It highlights the first occurrence of "to" as the current match, and the second as the next match.
Then do: M-s w
It continues to highlight the first occurrence of "to", even though that occurrence no longer matches. It should remove the highlight immediately. Pressing C-s again will remove the highlight, which is not user-friendly; pressing C-s should never cause highlights to be removed.
This same problem applies to case-sensitivity mode (M-c) too.

A pending search doesn't jump to the next match. It displays the
text "pending" in the prompt inviting you to type `C-s' or `C-r'
or more togging commands.
A failed search doesn't remove highlighting too. E.g. when you type
`C-s tofoo' then the first occurrence of "to" is still highlighted.
If you want `M-s w' to jump to the next match, you can create a new
command like `isearch-toggle-word' where the line
(setq isearch-success t isearch-adjusted t)
is replaced with
(isearch-search) (isearch-push-state)

So if I read this correctly, there isn't anything here that we should
change, and I'm closing this bug report. If this is mistaken, please
respond to the debbugs address, and we'll reopen.
