If I have a buffer with some text that is repeated several times and
do the following:
  - C-s <some text>  (isearch-forward)   to search for the repeated text
  - C-x (   (kmacro-start-macro)
  - Enter some new text
  - C-s C-s   to search again
  - C-x e  (kmacro-end-and-call-macro)
I get different behaviour in my old and new versions of Emacs.

In Emacs 24.2.1 and all previous versions I've used,
kmacro-end-and-call-macro calls the macro once more, and I can go
through the file making changes one at a time, and I can stop when I
want.

In Emacs 24.3.1, kmacro-end-and-call-macro calls the macro repeatedly
making changes to all the repeated text up to the end of the file.

Interestingly, if I define a similar keyboard macro that uses
next-error rather than isearch-forward I get my changes one at a time.

Is this some bizarre new behaviour for isearch-forward? Can I get the
old behaviour back?

Here's a precise recipe:

  /Applications/Emacs-24-3-1.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q

  Then at the start of the *scratch* buffer:

  C-s   e r   C-x (   x x x x   C-s C-s   C-x e

  Emacs makes multiple changes for the  C-x e.
