After installing small fixes I'm not closing this report
while trying to re-implement it using set-temporary-overlay-map.
IIUC, the biggest challenge is to add a new argument
to set-temporary-overlay-map that will define a predicate
to decide whether this-command-keys should be applied to
key bindings of the overriding temporary map or passed through
to other less specific keymaps. This predicate is necessary
when the decision to select a keymap to apply keys
depends on a property put on a bound command's symbol
like isearch-scroll properties.
Such a predicate could be implemented as a hook-like variable
or with the help of add-function like is used now for
isearch-filter-predicate. Then additional predicates
could be added to the almost empty default function
isearch-other-control-char.
