Joel Rosdahl (address@hidden) has done some detective work:
> Here's how to reproduce (at least my version of) the problem:

> emacs -q --daemon
> emacsclient -nc
> In Emacs: C-s                         ; enter isearch-mode
> emacsclient -e '(find-file ".")'
> In Emacs: C-x b RET
> emacsclient .

> nil (while isearch-mode is non-nil).
