   It works for me with emacs -q

You should be able to reproduce the bug however, if you first set
isearch-allow-scroll to t.

C-x C-k e C-x e yields, when isearch-allow-scroll is nil:

;; Keyboard Macro Editor.  Press C-c C-c to finish; press C-x k RET to cancel.
;; Original keys: 2*C-s C-x

Command: last-kbd-macro
Key: none

Macro:

2*C-s                   ;; isearch-forward
C-x                     ;; Control-X-prefix

and when it is t:

;; Keyboard Macro Editor.  Press C-c C-c to finish; press C-x k RET to cancel.
;; Original keys: 2*C-s C-x )

Command: last-kbd-macro
Key: none

Macro:

2*C-s                   ;; isearch-forward
C-x )                   ;; kmacro-end-macro
