The rest of my message said that I do not think such a fix is even a good
idea. I probably should not even have said that I don't know how to fix
that, since I don't think it should be "fixed".
Starting again with `C-s C-s' is, IMO, asking Emacs to find the whole search
string; it is not asking it to find the part that can be found. At least,
that's how I interpret such a user intention.
I think that is correct behavior.
The fact that C-M-w can be used to delete chars from the string does
not invalidate it. You can also use M-e to edit the search string in
any which way, but I don't think that matters here, and neither does
C-M-w.
Putting this together with the fact that it is hard to determine the
right "failing part" in this case, we get a thoroughly convincing
reason not to try.
