This is the story I remember.

A while ago, I proposed to change isearch so that it
translates characters by translation-table-for-input to
solve such a problem, but there raised an objection that
read-char should do that translation.  RMS asked to check if
such a change to read-char is surely safe or not, but as
such a check is very difficult and time-consuiming, no one
took on the job.

So, this problem is still unfixed.

I again propose to change isearch.  When we know that
changing read-char is safe in the future, we can cancel that
change in isearch.
