No, I don't think it does.  You might be being a bit too pedantic here.
I think it would be easy enough to record the window position in isearch
for this.  But...

If C-g restores the window position, then sooner or later somebody's
going to want C-<space> to do the same.  Seems perfectly reasonable.
Except that would lead to complications in the implementation of the
mark and mark-ring, possibly intractable ones.
