IMO, this behavior is too confusing. Imagine the situation where
isearch was wrapped once and after overwrapping it landed again on the
first matching point. Now the user sees lazy-highlighted matches
below point, and when he types C-s again, isearch skips these matches
and continues on to the next node. Even though these matches were
visited once, the user may forget this, so it would be confusing when
the user expects that C-s will go to the next lazy-highlighted match,
but it goes to the next node instead. It's better is to go to the
next node after the first failure without wrapping.
