Nothing new.  Just another example of how completion with multiple
styles chained together can be confusing.  At least that's what I
suppose the culprit is (without looking).

emacs -Q

M-x find-library RET isearch.e

Put point at bol (i.e. on/just before the `i') and hit TAB.  You get
(only) the completion isearch.elc.  And point is not moved to eol: it
stays where it was.

Or put point on `.' - same thing.  But quicker - when point is on the
`i' it takes a while.

But putting point on or after the second `e' gives isearch.el as the
only completion.  Likewise, point on the `h', the `c', the `r', the `a',
and the `s'.

But first complete with point at bol (on `i'), then remove the final
`lc' and move point to the `s'.  TAB then completes to isearch.el, as
before, but this time with the message [Complete but not unique], which
was not shown before with point at the same place (on `s').

Well not quite.  _Sometimes_ you will see [Complete but not unique] when
you follow that recipe.  Sometimes you will not.  Depends on the tide
perhaps.

Hardly what I would call "least surprise".  YMMV.

Yes, that's pretty confusing...  I get pretty much the same as you do,
but not quite.
