After pressing `isearch-forward-regexp` twice, the prompt becomes "Regexp Regexp I-search"

I have C-/ bound to isearch-forward-regexp. Here's what happens when I press it twice:

This is tested in $ emacs -Q, 27.2.

Recipe:

(require 'isearch-mb)
(isearch-mb-mode)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-/") 'isearch-forward-regexp)
;; Then press C-/ twice.

Okay, this enters some inconsistent state, but what did you expect to happen instead? You config also doesn't seem to make sense with the normal isearch either.

Perhaps you forgot to bind C-/ to isearch-repeat-forward in isearch-mb-minibuffer-map?

I have C-n and C-p bound to isearch-repeat-forward/backward.

I know isearch-forward-regexp is not designed to be used in an isearch session (as C-M-s is bound to isearch-repeat-forward in isearch-mode-map), so I don't know what to expect too. But I think the prompt shouldn't be messed up.

Since this problem seem totally innocuous (the prompt gets back to normal after pressing some other key), I'll close the ticket.
