> In word search mode, non-word characters are interpreted as whitespace.

Indeed, I now remember the philosophy behind word-type Isearch: you
can search for "foo, bar" (with punctuation between the words) and
you'll find that sequence of words, regardless of the whitespace or
punctuation between the words.

So my expectations were wrong.

I'm closing the bug report.  Sorry for the noise.
