I forgot to also note that this bit from the mentioned bug report:

| The point should not be moved so that I can press M-p again to find

is wrong: `comint-previous-matching-input-from-input' already had that
functionality using `comint-matching-input-from-input-string' to keep
the same search string on consequent searches regardless of the point
position.

(I tend to think that because of this the default behavior should be
kept as it was, but in practice I'm guessing that most people expect the
zsh/bash thing.)
