When `isearch-allow-scroll' is non-nil, then `isearch-other-meta-char'
calls `isearch-reread-key-sequence-naturally', but `read-key-sequence'
in the latter function removes the shift modifier and sets
`this-command-keys-shift-translated' to t.

This is just an analysis.  I currently don't know what is the right way
to fix this.  Maybe simply add the shift modifier back to the key when
`this-command-keys-shift-translated' to t after `read-key-sequence'.
