In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Mon Aug 15 1994 on turgon.forwiss.uni-passau.de (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3)

`isearch.el' uses 'isearch-text-char-description everywhere but in
line 750, where it uses 'text-char-description.  This seems to be a
mistake.

To notice the effects, start a bare emacs, and execute 

        (standard-display-european t)
        
Insert an isolatin1-character, say the yen-sign \245, search for it
with `C-s C-q 2 4 5', abort the search with e.g. `M-b', search for it
again with `C-s M-p'.  Isearch shows the yen-sign.  Now press `C-s',
and Isearch shows `M-%'.

To get the correct behaviour, apply the following patch:
