As you say, someone might want that last successful search string to
be stored in the search ring (I've sometimes expected it).

So I think that the proper solution would be to let the user decide
whether C-g from a I-search session saves the current search string in
the search ring.

That, IMO, would be a better (more intuitive/consistent) solution that
taking another key for retrieving the last successful search string
(which is already doable with "C-s C-s" or "C-s M-p").
