I agree.  I have sometimes wondered why my emacsclient frame does not pop
up (I have set server-window to create a new frame) when I have forgotten
to exit an isearch in another frame.  Normally almost any command will
abort the isearch.

Which I agree with aborting isearch, I don't agree with aborting a
recursive editing, since the latter is not as much a modal thing.
