Could you try hitting ‘C-x C-e’ with the point at the beginning of the
fourth line of the following text?

(progn
  (define-key isearch-mode-map (kbd "DEL") 'isearch-del-char)
  (execute-kbd-macro [?\C-s ?y backspace ?x ?1]))
x1yx2

In "emacs -Q" I get the error message "Keyboard macro terminated by a
command ringing the bell".

With my patch, there's no error and the point ends on "y", as expected.

Best,
Augusto
