Both you and Andreas think that yanking at the beginning for backward
isearch is inconsistent.

If you both feel that way I tend to agree (since this is a usability problem).

However if it is useful is a quite different thing. I have use cases
for it. I can't imagine that other people does not have it so I assume
this is not really what you (or Andreas) wanted to say.
