In my Emacs it is not the case. I'm running CVS Emacs from July 2004
in Windows XP. Not that it is very important for me, I just wanted to
present this fact.

I did this:

* emacs --no-init-file

* When in the *scratch* buffer, C-x 2

* C-s a (just search for an "a" in there)

The highligting for the "future" marks is only visible in one of the
windows.
