you're right.  same here.  as a "work around" you can always use the
iswitchb-mode keys C-s to switch forward through the list of matching
buffers or C-r for the backward direction.

to get more serious, you'd have to examine the source code for this
mode.  i'd first look at the buffer-mode local key map and the entries
therein.  the code-snippet itself looks plausible, something like this
should be possible to work out.
