It seems that something is broken in isearch-x.el (although
unicode merge didn't change it).  I'm now investigating.
But, perhaps, it's time to implement the decoding of
keyboard input by C.  After multi-tty merge, we have the
function tty_read_avail_input.  I think that is the right
place to do that decoding.
