Yes.  But hit C-s again and it then correctly highlights all of the occurrences
(just as it should have done initially, and which happens in other modes).

It is when there is only a single match that it immediately moves on to the next
node that has a match, instead of highlighting the match in the current node.
At least when there is more than one match a second C-s will highlight them all.
