Wouldn't such a non-function non-nil value reflect an error in an
Elisp package?  If so, why should we silence it?

I thing I disagree with ignore-errors here (at least, I don't think such
errors are normal, so they shouldn't be silenced), but using
with-demoted-errors could make sense if errors in this code could make
isearch non-functional.  Is that the case?
