Of course it does, since you don't need any "if" here because tt_content 
doesn't render anyway if there are no content elements.
tt_news won't because there always will be some news.

What you want should be done the other way around:
First create the fallback (tt_news) and then override it with the records.

10 = COA
10 {
    10 < plugin.tt_news
    stdWrap.override.cObject = RECORDS
    stdWrap.override.cObject {
        source.current = 1
        tables = tt_content
        stdWrap.required = 1
        stdWrap.wrap = <!--TYPO3SEARCH_begin--> | <!--TYPO3SEARCH_end-->
    }
}

stdWrap will work with RECORDS at least with 4.2.3 although not mentioned in 
TSref.
