bug#56535: 28.1; `no' and `no-ding' values for isearch-wrap-pause option (since Emacs 28.1) not working as documented

[Arun V]

For more clarity, here's an example.

Assume it's a plain vanilla emacs install with all options set to
their default values, and it has in it a buffer with the following
content (of just 3 lines).

Line one of buffer
Line two of buffer
Line three of buffer

If the point is at the beginning of the second line, and we issue a
C-r and start typing the following characters "L", "i", "n", "e", " ",
the point would be moved to the first line. If we continue to type
"t", the minibuffer will display "Failing I-search backward" and the
point will still remain on the first line. If we press C-r again, the
minibuffer will display "Wrapped I-search backward" and move the point
to the third line.

This is the default behaviour (with isearch-wrap-pause set to t). I
can see the documented behaviour when I set the value to nil i.e. no
wrap around.

But when I set the value to `no' or `no-ding', I was expecting the
point to automatically move to the third line immediately after typing
"t" as mentioned in the above use case. Atleast, this is what I could
understand from the documentation. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
