Yes, the regexp.  I suspected that, and I still made the bug report,
because IMO, a user who makes a simple (non-regexp) Isearch doesn't
care about the implementation details such as the internal regexp used
to perform the actual search.  Therefore, in that sense it is garbage.

Showing that long string there is plain ridiculous, IMO.
