Just to clarify: I didn't mean to say that "it's been that way for so
long that it must be right", but just pointing out that it's not
a new problem.

I have no idea how easy it is to address.
Tho I think there is one way to avoid the problem: make isearch signal
an error in that case.  You'd get an error if isearch used a minibuffer
(because it'd be a recursive minibuffer which are disallowed by
default), and whether isearch uses a minibuffer or not is (to a large
extent) an internal implementation detail.
