Actually, Isearch never supported zero-length invisible matches.
The following condition was in isearch.el since day 1:

  (defun isearch-range-invisible (beg end)
    "Return t if all the text from BEG to END is invisible."
    (when (/= beg end)

So any zero-length match is deemed visible by Isearch.
