That may be because trailing whitespace is not highlighted when point is
at the end of a line in any buffer, even if the line is terminated by a
newline (and thus there is at least 1 [possibly empty] subsequent line).
Or perhaps that point is moot, because isearch.el displays the search
string in the echo area, not in the minibuffer (if so, perhaps the
message function should be changed to respect show-trailing-whitespace).
