I see the problem. But while trying this Vim crashed. After a bit of
debugging it appears that your isearch command takes so long that the
balloonexpr is invoked recursively. I'll add some code to avoid that.
Nice idea, if only it wasn't so slow. Note that "silent" should be
"silent!" to avoid an error when nothing is found.

If you can reproduce it, let me know.
