Wouldn't this be too surprising for users?  Maybe there should be some
visual indication to explain why the cursor is in the middle of the
search string?  E.g. the same highlighting of the failed part with the
`isearch-fail' face.  Or more conveniently - activating the region on
the failed part, so the user can easily delete it with one keystroke.
