IMO, this is consistent behavior.  As the message says after typing `['
it's incomplete input, so C-g behaves exactly like if there is no input
for `[' (and an unfinished sequence of characters that follows it).

So the main principle here is that "incomplete input" means "no input"
for Isearch, and given this rule all your examples work as expected, i.e.

"C-M-s is[ C-g" works like "C-M-s is C-g"
"C-M-s iss[ C-g" works like "C-M-s iss C-g"
"C-M-s is[blablabla C-g" works like "C-M-s is C-g"
