OK.  Sorry I didn't spot this.

Not necessarily.  Another approach, which I'm going to try, is to create
the "lazy" overlay for the current match, but not to give it the face
property.  On C-s, that overlay can get its face, and the overlay for
the current match can lose its "lazy face".  That way, each match will
have exactly one isearch overlay face active.
