(Deleting original message and posting this corrected version...)

I've just upgraded from Emacs 24.2.1 to Emacs 24.3.1. 

Full version details: 
  "GNU Emacs 24.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) 
   of 2012-08-27 on bob.porkrind.org" 
  and 
  "GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) 
   of 2013-03-13 on bob.porkrind.org" 

If I have a buffer with some text that is repeated several times and do the 
following... 
  - C-s   (isearch-forward)   to search for the repeated text 
  - C-x (   (kmacro-start-macro) 
  - Enter some new text 
  - C-s C-s   to search again 
  - C-x e  (kmacro-end-and-call-macro) 
... I get different behaviour in my old and new versions of Emacs. 

In Emacs 24.2.1 and all previous versions I've used, kmacro-end-and-call-macro 
calls the macro once more, and I can go through the file making changes one at 
a time, and I can stop when I want. 

In Emacs 24.3.1, kmacro-end-and-call-macro calls the macro repeatedly making 
changes to all the repeated text up to the end of the file. 

Interestingly, if I define a similar keyboard macro that uses next-error rather 
than isearch-forward I get my changes one at a time. 

Is this some bizarre new behaviour for isearch-forward? Can I get the old 
behaviour back?
