Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

For being able to do sensible searching through invisible overlays,
the properties isearch-open-invisible and
isearch-open-invisible-temporary are available.  Exactly the same
problem occurs with query-replace and its ilk, so it would be more
than reasonable if query-replace used the same functions and
properties for making the text visible while searching and replacing.
