Do you type these zeroes with a numpad? I can reproduce this bug when
zeroes are typed with <kp-0>, so the last macro doesn't contain zeroes.
The reason is an intentional call to `cancel-kbd-macro-events' in the
first branch of `cond' in `isearch-other-meta-char'. I don't know why
this is needed. CVS logs show that this line was added at 1995-08-10.
Also I noticed a related bug: when zeroes are typed with <S-kp-0> then
<S-kp-0> terminates Isearch instead of adding zeroes to the search string.
That's because <S-kp-0> is processed in the 6-th branch of `cond'
in `isearch-other-meta-char' (with `search-exit-option') where
unprocessed control characters terminate Isearch.
