So there is a UI promise that's broken. That's not what I see in vanilla Emacs: `emacs -Q'. I had to check, because I don't generally use `emacs -Q'. I was half expecting you might be right, in which case I would have suggested that you use `M-x report-emacs-bug' to request that different faces be used for Isearch and for the region. But I see that that is already the case, as it should be You must be using some customization (perhaps from a library you use), which gives face `lazy-highlight' and face `region' the same appearance. Their appearance is quite different in virginal Emacs.
