Looking at the commit message for that change, it points at this bug
report: http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=16342
It looks valid to me. Isearch doesn't know where it's being run so it
needs to ensure backspace is bound to the right key. I suppose it
could do some keybind checking and only bind backspace if it wouldn't
already be translated to DEL, but then this reported issue would still
happen on these cases (and it would be even harder for the user to
figure out because it would only happen on some buffers).
