While we're improving isearch, there is another minor change that I think 
would improve its behavior, namely to go to the next/previous match when 
changing the search direction, instead of hitting the same match before 
moving to the next/previous one with the next C-s/C-r.  This change is so 
small that I'm not sure it's worth creating a defcustom for it, but you 
might have a different opinion.
