> I expect that the fontification of the echo area reflects what is

`isearch-fail-pos' assumes that in a failed state of search
a shorter previous successful search string should be taken
as a basis for highlighting.  In this case, the last successful match
was "buf", so an appended suffix is highlighted as failed.
