No, but doing that does seem rather like admitting that
define-ibuffer-op in its current form isn't up to the job in this case,
which is basically what my patch addressed. But of course that doesn't
mean it's the best fix.

But if isearch-forward returning is what makes ibuffer-do-isearch (via
define-ibuffer-op) emit the "Operation finished" message, then it seems
like the only alternatives to suppressing that message are either to
somehow postpone isearch-forward's returning or to use some other
mechanism to initiate the actual search. Maybe one of those is possible
for someone to implement who understands isearch better than I do.
