Below is the patch that works quite well for the most use cases.
But unfortunately, there are still some unsolvable corner cases:
when a file name is e.g. "aaxbbx" and the search regexp is "x$",
then after removing "$", searching for "x" will find the first
occurrence of "x", and will set match-data to it.  Later code
that uses string-match can adjust the found position to the
last occurrence of "x".  But it can't change match-data
used by isearch.  And using a temporary buffer won't help either
to set the real buffer positions in match-data to the last "x".
IOW, no post-processing can help the main search function
to set match-data to the correct place that matches "x$"
in the dired buffer (and file name doesn't always end at eol).
