Sorry, I meant the use of C-x 8 RET from within isearch. In that sense,
usually C-s will not suck in an active minibuffer, but it will if you
have to type foreign characters into your search string. This is
inconsistent.

You do not agree with me. ;-) C-x 8 RET is essentially a command using
recursive minibuffers. Otherwise, how could you type in a foreign
character while using C-x C-f? To make C-x 8 RET sometimes recursive,
other times not, would be too complicated.

See above.
