I understand what you mean, but I don't think it's important to make the
two behave identically: after all, if you want to DEL behavior, you know
where to find it.

That wouldn't always result in the same behavior as what DEL does
(think of the case where you do C-s buffe C-s C-s r C-s M-e DEL RET).
Making it really reproduce the behavior of DEL would require a good bit
more care.
And if we do try to make it behave like you want when the result of M-e
is a prefix of the original string, that will make it behave
inconsistently with the other cases when the result is not a prefix.
Nah, not a good idea.

I could agree here, OTOH. My reasoning is not "because this is similar
to some earlier state" but rather because I think that there's no reason
to decide that entering an upper case letter should change the state
from "auto" to "ignore-case". Instead it should stay as "auto" (until
the user explicitly choose a case sensitivity via M-c) and hence the
decision on whether to ignore case should be re-evaluated at every step.
I.e. C-s TOTO M-e C-a C-k foo RET should search for "foo" while
ignoring case.
